Fuji 160C vs. 160S ?

Dear all,

 

I would like to try the Fuji 160 film. However, there is a 160C and a 160S variation. I had a look at both data sheets, which did not really enlighten me. The 'C' seems to have a larger dynamic range compared to the 'S'.

 

I would like to use the film for portraits.

 

Has someone experience on these two types?

 

Cheers

Hi, Stephan. I use the 'S' exclusively. It is a low contrast, slightly low colour saturated film. Great for portraits, and unmatched for weddings. It has wonderful colours, and will pick out the fine details of a white wedding dress, or black tux.

I've used NPC with success. Nice color balance.

160C is meant to produce higher contrast ... go for the 160S but, color renditions are dull from both.

Dull?

 

I tried the 160S last summer and liked the colours. Fine grain.

Thank you all for your advice. I will start with the 160S then. If I like the result but feel I need more contrast, I'll try the 160C.

 

Cheers
