A color negative from China's Lucky Film, made at its plant in Baoding, Hebei.
Lucky mass-produced color film from 1985 until it stopped in 2012.
In 2003 Kodak took a 20 percent stake in Lucky and supplied an emulsion line for its color products.
The C200 that returned in 2025 is a new product, developed over 18 months by Lucky's engineers and Chinese universities.
It renders saturated reds and greens with subdued blues.
Grain is heavier than on Kodak's ISO 200 films.
Analog.cafe counts Lucky among the five factories in the world that can still make color negative film.
