ULTRA MAX 400 - 5 Rolls

Kodak UltraMax 400, 5-Roll Pack — a lighter-weight refill for a shorter trip

The gist: The same versatile 400-speed color film as the 10-roll pack, in a 5-roll size that's easier to slip in a carry-on for a shorter trip.

• ISO/versatility: ISO 400 covers daylight, overcast, and dim indoor scenes on one stock — no flash needed in most conditions.
• Color character: Vibrant, slightly cool-shadowed color rendering, distinct from Kodak Gold's warmer, more yellow-green cast.
• Grain: More visible than Kodak Gold 200, the trade-off for handling mixed and lower light.
• Format: Standard 35mm, 24-exposure rolls for any 35mm camera.

Shoot It With Film's comparison test found UltraMax reads cooler and less yellow-green in shadow than Kodak Gold, making it the safer pick when you can't guarantee sunny weather (shootitwithfilm.com).

Best for: A week-or-shorter trip where you want flexibility without committing to a 10-roll bulk buy. Skip it if: you're going somewhere consistently sunny — Kodak Gold's finer grain will look better there. Runs ~$45 for 5 rolls — check the current price before buying.
