Profile notes
Kodak Vision E100D (stock code 5294) was a daylight-balanced, ISO 100 colour negative motion picture film designed for ECN-2 processing. As part of the original Kodak Vision line, it delivered fine grain, high sharpness, and natural daylight colour rendition — targeted at cinematographers needing a slow, clean stock for well-lit exteriors and studio work with daylight-balanced lighting. The 'E' designation indicated Enhanced colour performance versus prior-generation stocks. It featured Kodak's T-grain emulsion technology and the standard remjet anti-halation backing. With the arrival of Vision2 5201 (50D) and Vision3 5203 (50D), the 5294 was phased out; it is generally considered discontinued as of the mid-2000s. Surviving rolls occasionally appear on the second-hand market and require ECN-2 processing (remjet removal first). Because of its age, colour shifts and base fog are common on expired stocks.
