Kodak Vision3 500T 5219

Kodak Vision3 500T 5219 is a high-speed tungsten-balanced (3200K) color negative motion picture film rated at ISO 500. Introduced in 2007 as the first stock in Kodak's Vision3 line, it uses Dye Layering Technology to reduce grain in shadows while maintaining a wide exposure latitude. Available in 35mm and 16mm (7219), it is processed in ECN-2 chemistry and remains a standard for low-light and interior cinematography.
