Description

This Kodak 400 speed film canister represents the "hybrid era" of photography, where film manufacturers scrambled to integrate digital workflows into the analog experience. Marketed under the "PerfectTouch" and "PLUSDigital" sub-brands, this was standard Kodak Max/Ultramax film sold with the promise of enhanced digital scanning and "Picture CD" services at the time of processing. The canister features standard DX coding (the silver and black checkered pattern) to communicate film speed and exposure count to electronic cameras like the Canon Rebel 2000 or Pentax SF1n. As an artifact, it captures a specific moment in time when the industry tried to bridge the gap between traditional silver halide chemistry and the emerging digital landscape.
