Is there enough special about Kodacolor-X that warrants a separate article? Of course, it uses a different process to later (and possibly earlier) colour negative films using the brand. However, you could say the same about different versions of Kodachrome (e.g. K12, K14 process) and they don't have separate articles. I feel that the brand warrants its own page, but that one for each variant is too much. Any thoughts? Fourohfour 10:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merged; my reasons for not merging straight away were (on reflection) quite minor. Fourohfour 13:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kodacolor in South America[edit]

Kodacolor brand is used nowadays in Argentina (apparently Brazil too). It's a 100 ASA color negative film named simply Kodacolor 100. I'm not an expert in photography but a friend of mine who works for a photolab says it's extremely similar to the Kodak Gold 100 but at a lower price (so he supposes it's a "not-enough-quality"/"non-complaiant" film. If I recall correctly it appeared in Argentina at 2002 (because 2001 in Argentina was no fun after devaluation). It's a pity I can't find any specifications aside from shops which sell it. --FedericoMP (talk) 07:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Generations and (no) relation to Kodak Gold[edit]

This Vuescan table[1] suggests that there have been far more generations of Kodacolor since 1977 (at least 5) *AND* that it wasn't Kodacolor that was later sold as Kodak Gold, but rather prints from both Gold and Kodacolor were only printed on the same paper at around Kodacolor Generation 4. Furthermore, these two links [2], [3] suggest that there have been even more than 5 generations of Kodacolor since 1977 and that today's Kodak ColorPlus 200 (as sold by Kodak Alaris) is really Kodacolor VR 200 Generation 8, due to the fact that while the boxes read Kodak ColorPlus 200, the cans inside read Kodacolor 200, and the processed negative strips read KODAK VR 200-8 on the edge.

Half an hour of googling for (non-outdated, non-crossprocessed) good scans of ColorPlus and VR 200 (especially the VR 200 PLUS version which seems to have been the last generation that still read VR 200 on the box) seem to confirm the strong resemblance on factors such as color palette, contrast, sharpness, and graininess between the two films, as well as that ColorPlus seems to have gotten a bad rep from the fact that many commercial labs will botch prints and CD scans from it, especially in regards on sharpness (many commercial prints and scans from ColorPlus look like somebody slapped an insane amount of median blur on them in Photoshop, while homemade scans from the same negs look alright) and sometimes also in color. --2003:71:4E6A:B427:C57C:4C29:7373:753B (talk) 17:33, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vericolor[edit]

Why is there no article on Vericolor, the professional version of Kodacolor? Specfically, I wanted to put a link on the VPL disambiguation page, but it was removed, as there is no article to link to. Gah4 (talk) 23:20, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
