You will see printed on any Kodak Film carton the word "Speed." This means that the film is fast and will make the most of the light. The light may be poor because the day is a dull one; or it may be a bright day, and yet the light admitted inside the camera is diminished because you have shortened the exposure in order to take a moving object. Either way, the Kodak film, being "speedy," will make a plucky negative.'
But be warned! Film which is "speedy," but has no "latitude," is dangerous. If you give it ever so little over-exposure, it turns nasty and the negative is flat, dull and unprintable. Kodak Film is “
"speedy," but it has that indulgent "latitude" which allows you "to over-expose it and still get sparkling negatives.
