Review 1 of 5

Price Paid: $0.00 from Adorama

Summary:

It's cheap at $2.49 per roll. It gets the job done. You can saturate the colors as you please in PhotoShop. It scans well and seems to have good exposure latitude.

Strengths:

Price. Use the money you save on this film to buy more of it.

Weaknesses:

The colors are a little bland. Oh well. Award-winning photos are based are more important factors anyway.

Similar Products Used:

Most Kodak, Fuji and Ilford films.

Review 2 of 5

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

I read the review of this product producing "muddy" skin tones, after I shot two rolls of single portraits and group portraits. Ths skin color had the consistency of a light mud wash. Camera shop people tell me "Oh, Fuji Press 800 is the best 800 film. But I can bring myself to try a "press" film again. How Fuji managed to do it I don''t know. Mud, Mud, Mud.

Weaknesses:

I''m nor sure what color "white" people really have, but mud is not it.

It''s back to NPH

Model Reviewed:
Fujicolor Press 400

Summary:

Great for avialable lght or in ontrasty situations where you don't want to get oversaturated color. Don't underexpose.

Strengths:

This film is really good for available light shots where the contrast in the scene is great. It's color reproduction isn't as saturated as Superia 400 or the other Superia films. It's better for portraits than superia 400

Weaknesses:

If the scene you are shooting has very little contrast, you aren't going to get the snap you'd get with the other superia products.

Similar Products Used:

Superia 400, kodak gold 400.
