New Color Negative Films From Kodak and Lomography

Not one, not two, but three new film stocks are debuting this week for the analogue photographer; a pair from Kodak, and the 2025 edition of Lomography's Classicolor ISO 200.

KODACOLOR 100 and KODACOLOR 200

Kodak, despite everything, still continues to release new color negative film, announcing the launch of two color-negative films, KODACOLOR 100 and KODACOLOR 200, in 135 format rolls on Instagram."For the first time in over a decade, Kodak will sell these films directly to distributors, in an effort to increase supply and help create greater stability in a market where prices have fluctuated," wrote the company. 

Kodak describes KODACOLOR 100 as a low-speed, daylight-balanced color negative film with fine grain, saturated colors, high sharpness, wide exposure latitude, and consistent color reproduction. It performs best in brightly lit conditions while still retaining good shadow detail.

KODACOLOR 200 is a medium-speed, daylight-balanced color negative film that offers the same fine grain, saturated colors, sharpness, latitude, and reliable color reproduction, making it equally suitable for general photography.
 
Kodak added that the launch is made possible by recent investments that have increased its film manufacturing capacity. It points to the introduction of the KODAK Super 8 Camera and KODAK EKTACHROME 100D Color Reversal Film, as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the long-term health of the film industry.
 
The KODACOLOR Films will be initially in-store and online at photo retailers in the US and Canada.

LomoChrome Classicolor ISO 200 Film, 2025 Formula

Lomography has been banging the drum for analogue film for substantially less time than Kodak, but it has made a tidy business out of it. 

Its latest handcrafted film, the LomoChrome Classicolor ISO 200 Film, 2025 Formula, is now available in 35 mm format.

"This Color Negative ISO 200 film is quietly sophisticated yet delightfully lighthearted beneath the surface," the company writes with admirable poetic license. "True-to-life colors emerge with a quiet calmness, skin tones carrying a warm blush. Red tones burst energetically out of the frame, while blues and greens remain clear and crisp. Softly luminous in direct sunlight, earthy and warm in gloomier scenes, this film is suitable for use in all lighting conditions – providing rich details with a medium grain. Mixed light scenarios are enhanced with stark contrasts, while retaining information in the shadows, creating a unique film stock with a great latitude that can be pushed and pulled for varying results."

Rococo phrasing aside, this 2025 formula film stock has been produced using the company's tried-and-tested LomoChrome color layering process alongside a new coupler technology which the compay says creates a one-of-a-kind color palette with "brilliant color and contrasts."

120 and 110 formats will follow. And, as Lomography is quick to point out, because it's handcrafted no two production years are the same. Once the 2025 Formula is gone, that look is gone too.
