enboe Posted October 31, 2009 Share #21 Posted October 31, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) So I miss having Ritz camera where I could get 6 rolls of Fujicolor for less than $9. When shooting film, I usually shoot whatever is cheap. Eric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicapages Posted November 1, 2009 Share #22 Posted November 1, 2009 Fuji Superia 200 is a perfect "all-round" film and cheap, especially in multi-packs. Also its 400 and 800 ASA variants are excellent choices. If you want perfect color-neutrality and the ultimate sharpness, Fuji Superia Reala 100. I never really liked the standard Kodak Gold or equivalent films (though their professional Portra range is very good). Recently I could buy a stock of original German Agfa Professional 200 film at as good as no cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suede Posted November 1, 2009 Share #23 Posted November 1, 2009 Fuji REALA 100 has been good for me for a long time. Good colour, especially the greens and blues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photokalia Posted November 1, 2009 Share #24 Posted November 1, 2009 I find Fuji Superia very good if I'm going straight from negatives to prints. If I need to scan the negatives, I find Superia very difficult to work with in terms of controlling the colour casts during scanning. I can never get the colours to look natural, even for outdoor lighting conditions. In Singapore, we have a type of Kodak film called Kodak Ultramax 400. Not sure what the equivalent is elsewhere because I've not heard it mentioned by anyone before, but it's as cheap as Superia and it scans pretty well. It tends to overdo the magentas, but what I do is to white balance the image during scanning such that skin tones look pretty normal, and later dial back the remaining magenta cast in Lightroom or Photoshop. The result looks pretty acceptable to me, though I much prefer using Fuji Pro 400H if I can afford it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AgXlove Posted November 2, 2009 Share #25 Posted November 2, 2009 Fuji Superia 200 What he said. Superia 200 is a great allaround film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun Posted November 2, 2009 Share #26 Posted November 2, 2009 Another vote for Fuji Superia 400 and 800. I use one or the other pretty well all the time (unless I decide to splash out on some Portra as a treat). But I also echo what Photokalia says -- I have mine scanned from neg to CD at a pro lab and there does seem to be some colour shift with Superia - nothing that can't be readily corrected in PS, however. I also find Superia great in mixed light -- as long as there is some natural daylight in the mix, it seems to handle just about anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Fillmore Posted November 3, 2009 Share #27 Posted November 3, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Lately I have been burning through 30 rolls of expired Fuji NPH400 120 film I picked up on Ebay for $1 a roll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kivis Posted November 8, 2009 Share #28 Posted November 8, 2009 Ditto for Fuji Superia 400 and 800. I have been shooting alot of 800 lately. Throw an ND filter on for bright light outdoors. I am good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
