Kodak ULTRA MAX
Best versatile film for casual photographers capturing everyday memories.
This is the ultimate everyday workhorse for film shooters who refuse to be tethered to a tripod. Its high speed handles everything from bright sun to dim interiors with ease, though you sacrifice the ultra-fine, clinical sharpness of lower-speed stocks for that classic, versatile grain.
