HISTORY

About the Kodak Ultramax 400

Kodak Ultramax 400, introduced in 1997, is a versatile consumer color negative film that has remained a staple of the film photography world. Its bright, saturated colors with a warm Kodak tonality and wide exposure latitude make it suitable for everything from harsh daylight to indoor flash photography. Ultramax has become especially popular with new film shooters for its vibrant look and widespread availability.

RetroCam recreates this look using real optical data: color temperature curves, aberration profiles, grain structure, and tonal response. The result is a live camera effect that feels authentic, not just a filter slapped on top.
