Konica Minolta Color Centuria Super 800 Print Film

Konica Minolta Color Centuria Super 800 Print Film 

DESCRIPTION

High-speed film suitable for shooting with zoom lenses. The film is capable of compensating for the relative lack of light in highly zoomed-in shots, and eliminating camera shake/blur by using high shutter speeds. Features superior resistance to the effects of heat and natural radiation and is easy to use indoors and outdoors, with a wide latitude under many different light sources. 135mm

Strength:

None in comparison to Fuji Superia 800

Weakness:

Poor exposure latitude. Poor colour rendition for less well exposed areas of the picture. Needs to be overexposed for good results.

As with Agfa Vista 800, I was a little disappointed after trying Konica Centuria Super 800. Grain is generally less noticable on 15x10cm prints than with Vista 800, but any underexposure results in colours taking on an unpleasant greenish-brown hue. The limited exposure latitude of the film means that this can occur even when other parts of the photograph are correctly exposed. The problem is reduced by overexposing 1 stop, but for me this defeats the purpose of using 800 speed film. Flash photography resulted in photos that lacked sharpness and looked washed out. I subsequently tried some Fuji Superia 800 and found to be in a different league in terms of exposure latitude, contrast and colour saturation.
