Their precision beats and the serious demeanor with which they drummed was mesmerizing, and the crowd’s attention was firmly fixed on the line of drummers instead of the fact that we were getting scored on. The floodlights of the stadium served to illuminate them perfectly. I pushed my way to the front of the crowd and snapped only one picture of the scene, trusting my FG’s program mode to pull through. The SUPERIA Ecomaxx-T is a true no-process plate and allows environmentally conscious printers the ability to use high quality thermal plates without processing chemicals. Sustainability is not only a key issue for printers today, but it’s also one for Fujifilm who has dedicated years of R&D efforts to removing the processing stage from the print production workflow – the result is a true no-process plate with extremely high quality print characteristics.

Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 400 35mm film review | Digital Camera

Superia is more worth it because at the time of writing it is a good bit cheaper. Is it worth using it on holiday? Probably. Is it worth using it for some semi-important portraits? Probably also. Fujicolor Superia is a Fujifilm brand of daylight balanced consumer colour negative film introduced c1998 replacing the previous 'Super G plus' films. This film has been manufactured in 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600 ISO speeds. [2] [1] [3] [4] [5] Superia Premium 400 a Japanese market variant was added in 2009. The Superia line was a primarily aimed at the consumer point and shoot market but is also popular with enthusiasts. All speeds of all films were available in 135 format. Superia 100 and 400, as well as Reala 100 were additionally available in the 120 format. Superia 200 was also made in the 110 format. Despite the launch of Superia, Fujifilm also continued to offer a budget 'fujicolour' negative film in ISO 100 or 200 speeds based on older technology for price sensitive markets. If you’re still reading, I’ll assume you’ve gone through and rated the photos. And if that’s the case, it’s now time for the big reveal. Here are the names of the emulsions assigned to each letter: It might be hard to see, but with Portra 400 on the left, the overexposed areas aren’t as ‘blown out’ as they are with the Fuji on the right. Also, the Portra retains a bit more of the shadows than the Fuji does. 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).It was from those special images that I really came to know the power of film as a photographic medium. I came into film photography thinking that I’d get some quirky, old-school looking images that I’d enjoy for a moment or two. Instead, I came away with a deep appreciation for the power and potential of analog, and today I realize that Superia may just be the perfect film for leading new shooters into the vast, colorful world of film photography. In the close-up pictures above, we can see that Superia does have more noticeable grain than Portra 400, but with that being said, I’d still say it’s pretty good.

Fuji Superia 400 - Single Roll Review - by Christian - 35mmc

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. [24] See also [ edit ] The Superia LH-PL plate boasts the same features and printing characteristics as the renowned LH-PJ plate, with the added capability of extended run lengths (up to 600,000 impressions) without baking. This plate is also processed through the same FLH-Z processor and with the same chemicals used with the Superia LH-PJ medium run plate, giving you the added flexibility of changing plates without changing developer. Competing directly with Fuji’s c200, Kodak’s Color Plus 200 is Kodak’s cheapest color option. For a Kodak film, its tones are a bit cooler than what I remember seeing in reality. But the tones stay surprisingly true in indoor situations with less than ideal light. The highlights seem to have a red hue. The skin tones seem true to life, if not a bit more contrasty than some of Kodak’s other films. Color Plus is not a sharp film and, as expected for a budget film, very grainy. It’s latitude is wide, but maybe slightly less so than Kodak Gold 200. Since it’s extremely cheap, Color Plus is also a common film to see among street photographers. Especially during the winter season I practice a lot of night-time photography. During the day, one photograph might take up 1/125th of a second of your time. However, at night, things change drastically. You should have much more time on your hands as a single exposure can easily consume several minutes.Notice of discontinuation of some photographic film products". www.fujifilm.co.jp . Retrieved 2020-02-09. Kodak Portra 400 is pretty notorious for having fairly muted tones so that it can be edited to your heart’s content, so it’s generally pretty pastel which is what I expected. What wasn’t prepared for was for the Superia to be almost identical.

Fujifilm's next generation processless plate is ready to advance your commercial offset production to new levels of efficiency. With excellent robustness, Superia ZD delivers high run lengths and consistent quality. It is also UV ink compatible. 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. I think that generally, Portra is known for its muted, pastel colours (with perhaps a very slight yellow hue) and to be honest, Fuji Superia nearly replicates that with perhaps a little bit more saturation. 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 RangeSo 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. First, let’s talk about the more budget or consumer films for Fuji. In many ways Fuji c200 and Fuji Superia Xtra 400 are very similar. A commonality among Fuji films is cooler tones than Kodak and propensity toward greens in the shadows and, in some cases green overtones in general. This is due to the fact that Fuji films have an extra layer in their emulsions which tends to be cyan-green. As comfort level increases and a photo geek becomes more experienced, it’s not uncommon to find shooters who talk of Superia in the same breath as some seriously revered professional films, such as Ektar and Portra. And while a seasoned pro can certainly spot the difference between Superia and these other amazing films, for most amateurs and enthusiasts, Superia looks just as sweet. It’s this capability and versatility that makes Superia easy to recommend as a first film. And even for seasoned veterans, the way that it shines in all shooting situations makes it one of the best films around.

Generally, photographers want film with good exposure latitude as it helps them to get better, more well exposed images. Which Is The Best? 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. In this article, I’m going to talk about my first candidate: Fuji Superia 400. You will read rather subjective impressions based on a single roll, not an in-depth review. Testing Fuji Superia in the FieldSuperia is a daylight balanced, 400 speed, C-41 color negative film manufactured by our friends from the east, Fujifilm, and on the face of it the film sounds pretty average. To some, that’s enough to pass it over in favor of something with the word “Professional” in the name. But don’t let its average appearance fool you; Superia is a fantastic film that pushes the boundaries of what a consumer-grade emulsion can do. This film makes images that look downright pro, and shooters looking for the lo-fi charm of cheap film will more than likely be disappointed. It’s a thoroughly modern color film that was formulated to handle almost any situation, and as importantly, any level of shooter.
