Review 1 of 3

Price Paid: $3.00 from Unique Photo

Summary:

Clean film with accurate color reproduction. Good for people photos.

Strengths:

VERY accurate colors. Smooth tonality. Very easy to print with in the darkroom on account of the natural color relationships.

Weaknesses:

None in the 2+ years I've been using it. Never seen any of the grain that the previous reviewer mentioned. More than likely he was not exposing it properly.

Similar Products Used:

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid: $6.00 from Mesa Photo Supply

Summary:

I used four or five rolls of this stuff and that was enough. I take a lot of pictures with blue sky and smooth paint jobs. This film is so grainy it is impossible to enjoy the picture. I've used Fuji Superia X-TRA 400 and it performs better than this stuff.

Strengths:

Strong colors

Weaknesses:

Grain, Grain, GRAIN!!!!

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid: $4.00 from B & H Photo

Summary:

The leader in WYSIWYG film technology. Truly, "What You See Is What You Get". Refreshingly honest colors. Conservative and pleasantly accurate. If hot, enhanced colors are to your liking, this is not your film. It seems to love children, tropical birds, flowers, and outdoor sceenery. Shutterfly handles my processing, storage & printing needs exclusively. And the prints come out great. An 11x14 flower arrangement came out beautiful, and this was using the 400 ASA version. Think what your favorite local lab can do with your shots.....

Strengths:

Accurate color reproduction

Weaknesses:

None apparant
