Customer Reviews 
Works fine at ISO 300
2008-08-21I used this film recently on a trip and it worked fine. The grain was acceptably small. But I shot it with the camera set to ISO 300 rather than 400. The grain was not large when shot this way.
The grains that catch the darker colors on films are larger than the ones that catch the light shades. So if you shoot with the ISO set a half stop down you will always get smaller grain in your shots. It may just be that the Kodak Max 400 is not very close to being a true 400 ISO and that the Kodak Royal and Fuji Superia 400 is. So if shot at 400 particularly if the camera meters off a bit the result can be grainy because mostly the most light sensitive large grains are activated. But if shot at ISO 300 Kodak Max works fine in a pinch.
Not all cameras will let you adjust the ISO film speed setting. But if yours does try shooting all your film at a half stop lower and you should get better results across the board.
It's where you have your film processed that counts!
2008-01-06Like it says on the box, this is a versatile film, able to adapt to various light conditions and temperatures. Kodak is the leader in film and this is a quality product.
Based on recommendations from photographer friends, I take my film to a reputable processor and the pictures come out beautifully every time, a testament to the film and the developer.
Of course, the higher priced Royal Gold is better but you get what you pay for...and Gold 400 does its job well.
Okay Film
2004-06-02This film is okay. The color isn't nearly as realistic as some other films. I would recommend Fugi Superia Extra 400. It has much better color reproduction and is cheaper.
Get the Royal Gold 400 film, not this one
2001-02-22Skip this one and get either: Kodak Royal Gold 400 or Fuji Superia 400. If you settle for this film you are going to possibly compromise your photo shot.
Delightful exposures from the leader in film! Kodak!
2001-02-07This is the film I buy whenever I'm out. My exposures always return crystal-clear! The blue-green color of my stuffed walrus is particularly well-served by Kodak's masterful Gold Max 400 film. I'm also fond of Kodak's 110 film, but due to the nature of that format, my pictures were much dimmer. After the switch to 400, whoa! Watch out! What a vivid walrus!

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm.
But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras.
At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
