Review 2 of 66

Price Paid: $0.00 from 7Dayshop

Summary:

When I first started using my SLR I would always shoot ISO 100 film because coming from using a Digital compact(Fuji F610 was my first camera), I always thought ISO 400 looked crap(don't get me started on the ISO 800). It wasn't untill I saw pictures taken from this film and other high ISO films in magazines that I finaly bought some, but I was still unsure about using it. Well after the first roll I was hooked it is now my every day film and I only shoot the 100 on nice sunny days. Not sure why some people say why ISO 400+ looks crap this looks great and know there are even better 400 ISO print films out there. Digital P&S put me of high ISOs for a long time, I'm glad I found this.

Strengths:

Pleasing grain, nice colours and skin tones look alright. Cost £1.25 a roll (not $)

Weaknesses:

Well none I can see but I would guess that it doesnt perform quite as well as the pro neg films like Pro 400H

Similar Products Used:

Kodak 400 UC and all the Chromagenic B&W films

Customer Service:

7Dayshop sent me 5 rolls of 24 exp film instead of 5 rolls of 35 Exp film but I sent it back and they sent me the righ stuff. Cost £1.25 a roll and I have found a great cheap place to get it proccessed ASDA (owned by Walmart) I always get 7x5 with white boarders.

Review 3 of 66

Price Paid: $5.00 from pro camera store

Summary:

The FujiFilm Superia 400 is just a great film. The colours are vivid and it is really sharp so the details come out nice. It is not more grainy than any 200 speed film and handles well in low-light situations (though i would use a 800 speed film with compact zooms as they tend to have slow lenses).

Strengths:

- sharp images - vivid colours - Grain is like a 200 film, which is good.

Weaknesses:

- sometimes still a bit too slow in low-light situations with compact zooms at the wide end, go for the 800 speed.

Similar Products Used:

- Kodak Gold serie almost all speeds. - Kodak T-Max B/W films which i really like (Better than Ilford or Fuji B/W's) - Agfa Vista 200 (nice film and cheap).

Review 4 of 66

Price Paid: $7.00 from Meijer

Summary:

I've never been pleased with Fuji color print film. My prints always come out green, a filmy green cast as if everything was shot underwater in a fish pond, especially when underexposed. Not particularly sharp or grain-free, especially compared with the Kodak equivalents. Really mediocre in my opinion. But it IS cheap. It is also possible that Fuji Superia is especially sensitive to crappy processing.

Strengths:

Inexpensive. Easily available everywhere.

Weaknesses:

Consistently greenish color cast. Mediocre sharpness and grain.

Similar Products Used:

Kodak Max, Kodak Gold, store-brand generic color print film.

Review 5 of 66

Price Paid: $8.00

Summary:

I shot so much of this on a recent trip to Alaska and every shot turned out just great. Try to find a lab that uses Fuji's Frontier minilab for processing to get the most of this film. I stopped using just any lab since processing really determines the end result on negative films. Pay the extra couple of dollars and use a professional lab that has Frontier processing.

Strengths:

a great film with little grain
