Vivid colour for outdoor shooting. I used no polarizar yet the sky was was deep blue no cloud at 4:00pm. Truely impressive.

I would rather use Reala or NPS for portraiture, but on the other hand I will rather use Superia 100 for landscape, so I don't really think that's a weakness.

Regardless of its price, it is one of the best outdoor daylight film ever especially for landscape mainly due to its vivid colour (like Velvia). I once used Reala 120 roll for 6x7 landscape but the colour seemed plain despite of its sharpness. I've changed to Superia 100 since then and I was REALLY SATISFIED with it. But don't expect the same result on overcast days.

-Good outdoor quality
-I like the color opposed to Superia 400 that I normally use

-Not fast action enough, a photo of a baby went blurry since he moved too much (but that's inherently an ISO 100 film attribute, so my mistake!)
-Overexposed in night time shot

I used my Stylus Epic before for night time shot. With ISO 400 film, the amount of lighting is just right. I tried this ISO 100 for night time shot around, it turned out to be over-exposed and very damaging to the picture quality. I am not sure it was my Stylus Epic problem or just ISO 100 exposure control. I will use ISO 400 for night time shot again since it's proven to allow the RIGHT amount of light for my previous beautiful trip photos. Otherwise, ISO 100 has a great color choice, though I didn't really put it up to the test with blue-sky scenery yet, but I assume it'll be a nice one.

-The fact that it's over 1 1/2 years outdated and it still gives great results

-None that I can think of, except maybe for the lack of red vividness

I bought two dozen rolls of this film at the Hunt's Camera show in Boston last year, since it was about 6 months outdated and only cost about $1.25 a roll for 36 exposures (though its really like 40-42). My previous experience up until that point with 100 speed print films in general was limited to Kodak products, and I was eager to try some Fuji film to see how it would be different. So far, about 15 rolls in, this film has not let me down yet, constantly producing sharp, punchy images in some really nasty conditions. The key to this is to have it processed in a newer Fuji lab. I get this stuff developed 1-hour at the local Wal-Mart (yeah, yeah, I know, support your local shop), where they've got brand new Fuji machines and a fairly good staff working them (the key is to know when the boss is on, and go in then to get it done- this is the beauty of 1-hour). I've tried getting it done at my local pro lab, but they're using an older Fuji machine, and the results are dramatically different. I don't know if it's the machine, the operator, or even the paper, but so far Wal-Mart offers the best developing for this film I've found so far. I've gotten some breathtaking photos with this film in my OM-2000, matched with either a Zuiko 75-150 f4 or a Zuiko 50 f2.8 (both beautiful vintage lenses older than I am (16), with optics and build quality far superior to the Zuiko lenses of today, though at a decent weight penalty- these are some serious hunks of glass and metal). In fact, I just got back some of my favorite photos I've ever taken, a heartbreaking series that I took the other night as I passed the roadside cross of a teen from my town who was hit by a drunk driver walking two years ago. The memorial is all lit up with different candles and decorated with fresh flowers on the anniversary of his death, and that night happened to be the second anniversary. I stopped the car, hopped out, racked up some Superia 100, and set up my tripod. For the next 10 minutes, I danced in and out of the road dodging traffic, shooting off an entire 36 exposure roll. I didn't have my light meter with me, so I went by the TTL one in the camera, and bracketed all over the place, totally guessing for a lot of long (30 second) exposures at high f-stops. The result is a haunting, wonderful series of shots, with only two (two!!) shots totally worthless. These shots are so good, I'm actually thinking about making reprints and assembling them into a little album to give to the family. And what do I have to thank for these amazing shots? Fuji Superia 100.


Bottom Line: Go out, buy some of this film (outdated and cheap if you can find it), and sit back for one hell of a joyride. This is a great film, period.

Cheap, sharp, color saturation

Doesn't exist the 50 ASA version.... :)

It's the BEST 100 ASA film available and it's CHEAP!!! Why spend a lot of cash in Reala if this is better and cheaper? ...

Best film for its low price. I am a convert from Kodak and am very happy with this film. Itsw main strengths are the increadable fine grain and colour saturation and balance for outdoor scenes

not too many. emphasises red and warm tones. if you want to take indoor shots consider NPS 160.

For it's price I believe it cannot be beat. If you ignore the lack of batch consistency amateur films have and stick to outdoors photography it's up there with the best.

This film is good for outdoor casual photography.
But not good with flash while indoor.
Skin Tone Far too RED!
I have compared it with REALA Side by side for the same shot. REALA produced VERY accurate colour and skin tone. This one? TOO RED.
Go and get REALA if you have extra money or if you are serious with the photo.

Reala 100 (which cost more then double)

I use both the 35mm and 120 versions. I like the color saturation, especially the reds, as I shoot mainly the Red Rock country of the southwest. Very nice enlargements.

None that I am aware of.

It's a good print film with a good pricing. Enlargements are good. Color saturation is very good.

Absolutely beautiful for fall foliage. If the results are a tad red, the overall vibrant color more than makes up for it.

Not the best for skin tones - accentuates any redness present in the skin.

I just picked up 5 more rolls.

Similar Products Used:

Kodak 100 - maybe slightly more realistic but no where near as eye catching.

Brilliant color rendition for natural settings. Great for autumn foliage.

May be a tad heavy on the red.

Great color depth and vibrance. Slightly more saturated on reds, but this does not mean it doesn't record tonal range.

Kodak Royal Gold (which isn't as saturated but is better for flesh tones).
