Review 1 of 15

Price Paid: $250.00 from Wolf Camera

Summary:

This is a great, fast, and fine grain film( for 800 speed anyways). Great skin tones, and awesome contrast make me stick with this film for color negatives. Sometimes the 800 speed is a little too fast for the glass I use (When i want a small DOF, I open it up), but stopping down a little solves that problem.

Highly reccommended for those who are looking for a good fast color negative film.

Stay away if youre a velviaphile or prefer color slides- this is a negative print film.

Strengths:

Great skin tones
Fast
Fine grain for an 800 speed
Accurate color handling.
High contrast

Weaknesses:

Easy to underexpose.

Customer Service:

None really... Was reccommended by the people at Wolf Camera.

Review 2 of 15

Price Paid: $4.00 from PJC

Summary:

a great film for indoor use, and a rather good film for very sunny days, the colours are superb, very vivid, the grain is also fantastic for an 800 film. skin tones were pleasantly warm, wildlife was alive, to keep it short a good all round film... i've inherited my ricoh XR-2s from my dad and his words of wisdom were to stick to fuji, i usually use 400, but decided to try the 800 this time..

Strengths:

fast, colourful, grain

Weaknesses:

a little too blue.. ask ur photo processor to tone it down

Customer Service:

none

Review 4 of 15

Price Paid: $5.00 from 7dayshop.com

Summary:

Fuji Superia Xtra 800 is the only ISO 800 film I’ve tried so far which I would feel confident to use again in the future. It has finer grain and a much better ability to deal with wide variations in contrast than either Agfa Vista 800 or Konica Centuria Super 800, and a much better response to underexposure. Colour rendition also seems preferable.

Strengths:

Better than its competitors in terms of exposure latitude, grain and contrast

Weaknesses:

Relatively expensive, noticeably more grainy than Fuji Superia 400

Similar Products Used:

Agfa Vista 800, Konica Centuria Super 800, numerous 400 speed films
