Summary:
This slide film is by far better than most people suggest. However, it depends how you use it (and for what). Very versatile film for daylight photography. I had problems whith long exposures (artificial light) at ISO 1000.

Strengths:
Very good quality (not outstanding) at ISO 100. Good quality at ISO 100-800 daylight. Very versaitile. Easy too handle. At higher ISO rates better than most other slide films.

Weaknesses:
IMHO, for any ISO rate there is a better product available, so this film is a little redundant. Problems with long exposures and artificial light. Quite grainy at ISO > 100.

Summary:
I bought a bunch of this film to use in my antique Rolleiflex prior to a trip to Italy. I thought it would be good to go from indoor situations to outdoor without having a bunch of different types of film. I was very pleased with the results. I sent all of the film to A&I in LA, who I talked to before buying the film. They have many customers who have experimented with this film, and they have their own methods for developing it from that experience. They have adjusted all of their timing from the Fuji specs, so I just labeled each roll 100-800, and they took it from there. I shot about 15 rolls, about half 100, a few 200, and several 800, inside churches. I bracketed indoor shots because of the dimness, but several minute-long exposures at 800 came out very nice. The outdoor colors were very saturated, but acceptable. Skin tones throughout were very accurate, and the grain was very fine. (of course I used 120, and project it on an antique projector.) I scanned every roll, and they turned out well. If you see complaints from push-processors, ask them where they got it developed. Not every lab sees this stuff very often, A&I handled it well

Strengths:
Acceptable grain from 100-800, descent color rendition throughout. Very versatile film.

Weaknesses:
May get odd results with long exposures (read those spec sheets!) or with inexperienced labs.

Summary:
I have used this film in various conditions and like it very much. specialy in rock/pop concerts. Even though it is grainy the grains are very beautiful. The colors are good at 400 or 800. I would thoug not use it at 1000.

Strengths:
versality

Weaknesses:
flat and very grainy at el 1000

Summary:
I was sorely disappointed when I used this film. I had to do a three night photo essay on what goes on at night in an ER. Since I was discouraged by the hospital administrators from using a flash as much as possible, I was forced to shoot a lot using available light. I rated the film all the way up to EI 1000 and instructed the photo lab to adjust the processing based on how I had rated the film. The shadow details were muddy, and the colors were all muted.

Strengths:
This film is only good rated at EI 100-400. Prepare to be disappointed once you rate it at an EI of 800-1000.

Weaknesses:
This film simply does not live up to its hype. I''ve seen results from Fuji Provia 400F pushed to an EI 1600 that were much better.

Similar Products Used:
None in terms of EI range.

Summary:
As a 100SA film it does not compete well with Kodak 100S. At 400 ASA it produces much better results then any other transparency film I have used. Excellent film if you don't know in advance what speed to use. Otherwise use a dedicated film.

Strengths:
Very good quality at 400ASA

Weaknesses:
In shades it renders too blue, Photoshop correction needed. Dark colors not reproduces accurately, i.e. dark blue appeared as almost black! Gamma correction after scanning 48 bits deep did not improve this. I needed quite some correction (Red +, Blue -) in photoshop to get an acceptable color balance.
