Just wanted to share my delight at the results of my first roll of Fuji 800Z. I'm using this as daylight (or early morning light) walkabout film in my M7. I know that the mods don't like us to clog up non-photo sections with pictures so I've put four of the best examples on my Flikr account, here.

 

Is this film great, or what?

I recently tried a roll on the advice of another forum member. I used it under indoor/low-light conditions and was very happy with the results. I plan to always have a roll or two of 800Z on hand for those times when I want color and 400H isn't fast enough for the conditions.

Great images - beautiful color!

 

I use Fuji Superia 200 as my allaround C41 film and Velvia 50 as my one and only E6 emulsion.

 

I haven't used any of Fuji's B&W emulsions, but if they are as good as their C41 and E6 films (and I suspect that they are) the reputation of Fuji film is well deserved across the board.

 

In my experience, you just can't go wrong with Fuji film.

I tried a roll of Neopan recently, and while it was good I didn't immediately like it as much as Tri-X. I'll try another roll just to be sure.

 

Just bought some Superia 400 to try out as my "everyday" color neg film. I usually spring for Reala or the Pro series stuff, but I'm curious whether the regular consumer grade Superia is good enough for my general needs.

 

I'm also curious about Press 800 and how it compares with Pro 800Z.

 

You're probably right that Fuji doesn't make a bad film.

Glad you like it Louis.

 

An inspired choice ? :D

 

Your PP is strong, but that's your style as we know it. Great to get an 800iso film to perform to your requirements i daylight like this. Mine's waiting to be opened.

Great shots.. if used right..the 800NZ can give fabulous results..but there are limits to its latitude..if your looking for something that you want to "push" the hell out of..

Kodak Portra 160 NC, Fuji 160S, Kodak Ektar 100 and in B&W Ilford Delta 100 and 400.... don't get me carried away..... I love film.. I am a film junky

 

 

Cheers, JRM

Louis, Yes, I'm strongly in favour of 800Z and the cheaper Superia 800 too -- I use one or the other throughout the winter months. They are pretty contrasty films anyway, though, I find, and to my eyes (or for my taste) your processing accentuates the contrast a bit too much. Which reminds me -- I need to order some more!
