TECHNICAL DATA / COLOR REVERSAL FILM
KODAK EKTACHROME 64T Color 
Reversal Film 7280
KODAK EKTACHROME 64T Color Reversal Film 7280 is 
a 64-speed color reversal motion picture camera film 
designed for exposure with tungsten illumination (3200 K). 
This film offers excellent color reproduction, fine grain, and 
high sharpness. 7280 has outstanding reciprocity 
characteristics, which give consistent color balance and 
speed over a wide range of exposures. EKTACHROME 64T 
Film should be processed in an E-6 Process.
BASE
KODAK EKTACHROME 64T Color Reversal Film 7280 
has an acetate safety base.
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not use a safelight.  Handle unprocessed film in total 
darkness.
STORAGE
Store unexposed film at 13
°
C (55
°
F) or lower. For extended 
storage, store at -18
°
C (0
°
F) or lower. Process exposed film 
promptly. Store processed film according to the 
recommendations in ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998: for 
medium-term storage (minimum of ten years), store at 10
°
(50
°
F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent; for 
extended-term storage (for preservation of material having 
permanent value), store at 2
°
C (35
°
F) or lower at a relative 
humidity of 20 to 30 percent. For active use, store at 25
°
(77
°
F) or lower, at a relative humidity of 50 +/- 5 percent. 
This relates to optimized film handling rather than 
preservation; static, dust-attraction and curl-related 
problems are generally minimized at the higher relative 
humidity. After usage, the film should be returned to the 
appropriate medium- or long-term storage conditions as 
soon as possible.
For more information about medium- and long-term 
storage, see ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998, SMPTE 
RP131-2002, and KODAK Publications No. H-1, KODAK

EXPOSURE INDEXES
Tungsten (3200 K) - 64 / Daylight (5500 K) - 40
1
 
Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light 
exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds 
or exposure indexes. These indexes apply for meter readings 
of average subjects made from the camera position or for 
readings made from a gray card of 18-percent reflectance 
held close to and in front of the subject.  For unusually light- 
or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure 
indicated by the meter accordingly.
COLOR BALANCE
These films are balanced for exposure with tungsten 
illumination (3200 K). For other light sources, use the 
correction filters in the table below.
1
 These are approximate corrections only. Some light sources are 
extremely variable.  For critical applications, light source color 
temperature should be verified and test exposures should be performed.
Note: Consult the manufacturer of high-intensity ultraviolet 
lamps for safety information on ultraviolet radiation and 
ozone generation.
