a.noctilux Posted January 3, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I have never used Superia from Fujifilm, in fact so little experience of color negative. Only not more than a couple of Agfa Vista 100 and 200 Plus that I like very much feeded in my LTM and M with all kind of lenses ( some from 1936 so not coated). Is it correct that Fujifilm is maker of those Vista ? Have you some comment on using Superia film ? Which one to begin with, 200 ISO or 400 ISO as an all-purpose film ? Thank you in advance.

Arnaud I've used Superia 200 a little. For example, in New York: I think Agfa vistaplus 200 is rebranded Fuji C-200 Dexter Pete 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted January 5, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 5, 2015 I've used Superia 200 and 400 a lot over the years, both in original Fuji rolls and rolls rebranded as Hema (the Dutch chain of shops). In my experience, the original rolls give slightly better results, particularly when pushing a stop or two. I think you'll be fine using either the 200 or the 400, though, depending on things like how quickly you finish a roll how stable your hands are, the latter may be more versatile. You can find examples in my Flickr of both (but I haven't indicated which photos were taken with original vs rebranded rolls). I have no experience with the 1600 but I have pushed 400 both one and two stops and it gets pretty grainy. Philip Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted January 6, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I think Agfa vistaplus 200 is rebranded Fuji C-200 As a sidenote to this, UK members might like to know that you can get rolls of Vistaplus 200 for a quid each at Poundland (albeit of the 24 exposures variety). Combine it with £3 dev and scan at your local Asda and you're laughing (in a kind of lo-fi way). Get 6x4 prints done instead of scans and it'll feel like 1995 all over again.

fotomas Posted January 6, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 6, 2015 Hello, I use all Superias. Mostly 400 and 800. If necessary the 1600 and sometimes the 200 in my snapshot camera. I like them, especially the colors of the 400 and 800. Scanning is easier than with the new Portras (past NC types). Price is also much nicer. The 800 and 1600 I overexpose about 2/3 or 1 f-stop. Otherwise you get rather thin shadows and lots of grain. The 1600 is pretty grainy, but there is no alternative. Posted an example from the 1600 years ago in the german forum: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/analog-forum/105173-welcher-800-1600-iso-farbfilm-zum.html#post1114949 My favorite was the 100 ISO Reala, but he is unfortunately gone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotohuis Posted January 7, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 7, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just found a box Superia 100 back at Fuji in Tilburg. So for 256 Superia films I have so time to shoot these .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted January 9, 2015 This morning, when just arriving in front of the film-shop, the "Fujifilm-delivery-man" was on duty. So, waiting in the shop, I have seen some ten-roll-pack of Neopan 400, expire date may 2015. The shop keeper told me that those are the last rolls of 400 Neopan, he will never receive them again. Difficult to choose Superia 200 or 400 to begin with. But now, I know that in b&w, it would be 400 ISO and why not 200 in color ? So I left the shop with plenty of Fujifilm that would last "forever" (b&w) and for "some time" (maybe a couple of days or weeks in color). Thanks for all of your posts.

Deedleberry Posted January 9, 2015 Share #9 Posted January 9, 2015 I use Fuji Superia 200 plenty, I don't think 200 is too slow (No need to push from what I can see). As for the Agfa mentioned as well, it's a brilliant little expense saver, the colours aren't spectacular, but if you've exposed it just right you'll have no complaints!

No complaints from me - especially as most of the £1 rolls I bought from Poundland are 36exp 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
