Summary:


I really like this film. It's my first choice in the B/W C-41 chromogenic films. It's made by Ilford, for Fuji. It's actually very similar to Ilford's excellent XP-2. But I think it's a tad sharper with better tonality, and a bit more contrast. As with the other B/W chromogenic films, it seems to do very well at asa 400 or lower. For general street shootint, I rate it at 320, and for people and portraits, I rate it at 200 or 250. It delivers wonderful flesh tones. It reacts very well to in-camera filtering too.

Strengths:


Very forgiving in exposure. Nice tonality and great flesh tones.

Weaknesses:


Not available in the States. I get mine from abroad. Maybe there's an agreement between Fuji and Ilford, because it would be a big seller in the States.

Similar Products Used:


Ilford XP-2 ( An excellent film ).

Kodak B/W+ 400CN ( I'm always very disappointed with this film. Very flat and lifeless negs).

Konica B/W C-41 film ( Hideous. It's been discontinued ).

Customer Service:


Never needed it.
