Fujifilm Superia is fantastic for candid, everyday photography. However, I wouldn’t necessarily put it past someone to create great portraits with it. Though for what it’s worth, with the right lighting anything can work just swimmingly. But if I had to pool my network of photographers available to me at any moment of any day, I’d honestly say that the majority of people who use Fujifilm Superia are street photographers. Why? Well, it’s got a pretty nice look to it and it’s a very affordable film. In fact, I wonder why Fujifilm hasn’t tried to emulate the look in it’s X series cameras. I figure that it’s only a matter of time until we get it and perhaps the look of Instax since their cameras can wirelessly connect to the Fujifilm Instax printer. Fujifilm Superia would be an incredibly accurate film to replicate given that it is available in so many different ISO speeds. Fujifilm’s processless plate technology features a number of high performance multi-layer coatings. In previous generations of processless, handling without care could sometimes damage the coatings, but Superia ZD is less sensitive to scratching. All of this makes sense since, Superia was produced to be consumer-grade, for the most part, people only really had 35mm cameras so there wasn’t much point in producing medium or large format film. Can You Shoot Them Out-Of-Date?

A professional film made by Fujifilm in 400, 800 & 1600 ISO speeds. It uses the same emulsions as Superia at those speeds, [23] but has been specially handled (refrigerated) since the time of manufacture.

Konica Big Mini BM-302 and Fujifilm Superia 400. Inverted by hand with no adjustments. A brief history of the Fujifilm Superia film line and the technology behind it. As per usual, Portra 400 is probably better in this department because of its dynamic range and finer grain, it’s tones are probably a bit better. Dynamic Range General purpose ISO 100 daylight colour negative film designed for flexibility and ease of use. Sharp, accurate vibrant colours (Code CN). Formats 135, 120. Discontinued 2009. [14] Superia 200 [ edit ] At times they even made some very revered cameras. Using the Fujica and Fuji names and as Fujifilm they made cameras that tended to fill in specialty markets. For instance the magnificent GSW690 and the GS645 medium format camera series.
Testing Fuji Superia in the Field
Notice of discontinuation of some photographic film products". www.fujifilm.co.jp . Retrieved 2020-02-09. Overall, it’s safe to say that Superia’s best feature is its dynamic range. This makes it a forgiving film , suitable for plastic toy cameras , old cameras with less-than-reliable shutters, and for metering using the Sunny 16 rule . It is also an excellent film to shoot in high-contrast scenes such as high noon and night photography . To me the colors do seem very accurate, though the shadows have a slight blue hint. Skin tones are natural and flat, not overly contrasty nor too much red in the highlights like some of the other, cheaper films. It doesn’t seem particularly sharp, and while it’s certainly a grainy film it feels tolerable to me. By mid 2019 the Superia product line had been consolidated into two films; Superia X-tra 400 (distributed outside Japan) and Superia Premium 400 (officially distributed in Japan only). An ISO 100/21° speed portrait film aimed at professionals and enthusiasts, originally known as Fuji Reala (CS). First 4th layer technology film for improved colors (no greenish cast) under fluorescent lighting later extended to fujifilm Superia and Pro color negative films. Formats 135, 120, 220. 135 format discontinued in 2012 and 120 format in 2013. [13] Superia 100 [ edit ]

Kodak Portra 400 is undeniably better but Fuji Superia is really good for what it is. What Are They Best For? The Fujifilm Professional Film Data Guide lists Press 400/800 as having the same product codes as Superia X-tra 400/800; 'CH' and 'CZ'.The '4th' cyan colour layer was designed to provide improved colour reproduction under fluorescent lighting, although use of filters is still recommended. Later films dropped the 4th layer (see Superia 400 X-tra and Premium 400). So far with my FujiFilm camera I have always been shooting Jpeg plus Raw to always process my Raw-files. I have tried different FujiFilm profiles and have found Pro-Neg Hi to be my go to profile for processing my raw files. I find it to have the most true color and temperature to my liking. I find that to be the same in your images for your recipes. That certainly does not mean there is no place for other recipes for different views. For the scoring sheet under price, I’ve included some default pricing scoring that are informed by these prices per frame in the US. For everyone else, you’ll want to do your own research. In more recent times, for photography, they embraced digital and almost created their own niche of small compact cameras.They even leveraged their history in film and created some very respected film simulations from these cameras.In terms of the film manufacturing, they also adapted this to making products like cosmetics.

You’ll also find that in the scoring sheet I provided, if you expand the hidden column, column B, this will also reveal the names of the films for easier reference, going forward. And now that we know which film is which, we can look at the final three factors to consider on the scoring sheet. I’ve included some defaults here, but these may require some adjustment based on where you live and some of your own observations or research regarding these films. I don’t claim that my scoring is perfect here. If you live in the US and it’s still 2019, these are the current price of the film per frame. This doesn’t include the price of development or scanning: A – Fujifilm C200 All film was graciously developed by Lomography Gallery Store in NYC. I highly encourage you to give it a visit. Tech Specs Ease of Use Finally, we have Cinestill 50d. In its original form, this film is Kodak Vision3, which is a daylight balanced motion picture film. Cinestill takes Vision3 in bulk and removes the remjet layer so it can be produced as a photographic film. There are several distinguishing factors about this film that set it apart, but the biggest is what happens to it as a result of losing that remjet layer. That layer acts as an anti-halation layer for the film, so with it gone, you will notice a pronounced tangerine-ish colored glow around highlights. This is the Cinestiill trademark and depending on who you are, is what makes it beloved or hated. And while the film does exhibit extremely fine grain, it also has very low edge sharpness which makes it appear soft, again, as a result of that halation. Though most sources, including Wikipedia , categorize Superia as a consumer/amateur-oriented film, it’s built on the same technology as one of the most sought-after colour emulsions: Natura 1600 . While 800 might seem like an odd ISO, not quite high-speed but also not really intended for super-smooth images with no grain, I can report that the visible grain for both Venus and Superia was small enough to not be noticeable or distracting. It’s a matter of taste, of course, but I prefer not to see too much grain if possible.Fujicolor Superia is a Fujifilm brand of daylight balanced colour negative film introduced ca.1998 primarily aimed at the consumer market, but was also sold in a professional 'press' variant. A key feature at launch was the '4th' cyan colour layer designed to provide improved colour reproduction under fluorescent lighting. Its Kodak equivalent is the Kodacolor (later Kodak) Gold/Ultramax line. For those who are new to film, latitude is a term we use when we’re discussing how over or under exposed a film can be and still be “pleasant”. Of course, this score is not perfect and a lot of it has to do with taste. Many of these films suffer from color shifting when over- or under-exposing, which some find more appealing than others with certain films. But these scores represent the average latitude values I’ve been able to research from other reviewers, or as reported by the film manufacturers. A higher score here means a film is more flexible and forgiving. Street photographers, for example, my prefer a more forgiving film as conditions are constantly changing while shooting. Whilst a landscape photographer who is taking their time might be ok with a film that requires more precise attention to appropriate exposure values. I really, really wish that Superia were still available in 120 format. It’s beautiful, accurate, and just has a gorgeous look to it that digital can’t totally replicate. With that said though, the look isn’t far off. Still, judging from the way these photos look and considering that this film was over 10 years expired I’m still amazed at how great it looks. Generally, photographers want film with good exposure latitude as it helps them to get better, more well exposed images. Which Is The Best?
