After seeing all the hype on Instagram following the release of the Kodak Gold 200 in medium format, Brett and I figured we should give it a go. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to shoot it together while I was visiting Exeter, so I shot the roll back home in the Netherlands on my Lubitel 166B twin-lens reflex (TLR).
Here are the scans from that first roll of Kodak Gold 200, developed and scanned by Foto Hafo in Den Haag. I have included the camera settings used, in case that is of interest to anyone. I'm super happy with how these shots turned out am getting excited to shoot lots more colour film on our upcoming Interrail trip!

Very nice shots!!!! Film definitely adds an interesting and softer aspect to the colors. I love the self portraits, the shot of the buildings in Amsterdam and the red moped in front of Old City Hall. Might be time to invest in a new TLR with no light leaks. :-)
