>>3502364Here is a Gold 200 sample at 3200 DPI. I shoot almost entirely with Gold 200 because it is by far the cheapest film you can get where I live.
Positives:
• pleasant colour rendition
• cheap
• contrast is just about right
• no strong colour cast
Negatives:
• soft
• noisy
• scanning beyond 1600 DPI doesn't really win much extra detail
It's a film that's generally most appropriate for users of SLRs with a fast 50mm prime in order to feed it with lots of light. It's only good in compacts with slow (or zoom) lenses in strong daylight. It trounces C200 and Colorplus by being significantly better on all fronts (colour cast, contrast, and resolution) but is not as good as Superia.
If you have the choice (which I do not), you should generally buy something better unless Gold 200 is really cheap in comparison, or you like the aesthetic.
