About this deal

Street photography with Fuji Superia 400 pops because of the bright colors that help you capture specific objects of interest. The fine grain adds just a hint of grit to urban cityscapes, giving the picture personality. Comparing Fuji Superia 400 To Other Color Films All film was graciously developed by Lomography Gallery Store in NYC. I highly encourage you to give it a visit. Tech Specs Ease of Use Late in the night, on that day in which I nearly forgot to carry a roll of film, I found myself playing electric bass in the marching band at our high school’s football game. If the Valley seemed bleak and somber during the day, it burst into magnificent color at night. The raucous noise of a high school marching band and the garish threads of the band uniforms made for quite the spectacle, and for me it was a spectacle worth committing to film. During our third quarter break, while the rest of the band ran off to stuff their faces with nachos and hot dogs, I pulled out my little Nikon FG and lingered to watch the drumline perform for the crowd. Kodak Portra has been around since 1998, although, I’m sure a variation of it has been available for a lot longer (Kodak loved to chop and change the name of things).

And now that we know which film is which, we can look at the final three factors to consider on the scoring sheet. I’ve included some defaults here, but these may require some adjustment based on where you live and some of your own observations or research regarding these films. I don’t claim that my scoring is perfect here. If you live in the US and it’s still 2019, these are the current price of the film per frame. This doesn’t include the price of development or scanning: A – Fujifilm C200 I’ve had some unclear results at 1600, but this could be because of poor exposure overall. I have seen other photographers produce useable results at this ISO, so I’m still willing to experiment, but so far I haven’t been happy with any of my extreme low light images. Archived copy" (PDF).

I’ve also been pleasantly surprised by the image quality in the under-exposed areas. Despite the colour shifts and the increased grain, the dark parts of my scans look relatively clean, virtually free of all colour noise. Portra 400 on the other hand, is there for when you need to take really good, high quality pictures. It’s ideal for portrait, editorial work, landscape and a lot of things in between.

The Superia line was introduced in 1998 , long before the Fujifilm axe began to swing for all but the most popular films the brand was making. It was a successor to the Fujicolor Super G “Plus” line that used Fuji’s branded Real-Tone and Emulsion Layer Stabilizing tech ( source ). All of that was aimed at improving colour reproduction, sharpness, and dynamic range. Superia does the same things but in a different way: This film expired in 2005, but it has been cold stored so it is not going to be the craziest expired film you will ever shoot thanks to the good storage conditions. It is 16 years expired though, so you can expect some cool and grainy shots! To make things easier for you as you evaluate the photos, I’ve prepared a handy scoring sheet you can use to evaluate the films as we go through the blind test. To use it, and this is important, you’ll need to make a copy of my template. Please don’t send me a request to edit my copy. I can’t give you permission to edit the template. You need to make a copy of mine so you can edit it to your heart’s content. To do that, in Google Docs file menu, go to File -> Make a copy. The scoring sheet will help you prioritize the aspects of color film that are most important and unique to you and your shooting needs. So the first thing you’ll do is go along the top and rate how important each evaluation criteria are to you. First rate how important color is. Note that you’re not defining what is good color, only how important color is to you, in general. Agfa Vista 400 has a finer grain than Fuji Superia 400, along with a wider exposure latitude. You can play with overexposure and still get high-quality images. You can increase the highlights without losing any of the shadow detail in overexposure. Vista also holds up better after the expiration date, while photos from expired Superia are less vibrant and have more visible grain. To be more specific, you are likely to see this when you underexpose shadows. You are likely to see a green tinge to your photographs. And if you expose correctly, shots the green tones will be more subtle. If you then take the film into well lit, brighter conditions, Fujifilm will look slightly cooler (blue-er across the spectrum) and Kodak film will render slightly warmer tones.Rolls of Fuji Superia 400 have a fine grain that makes pictures look like classic film images. You can see the fine grain in the photo details, but it still provides an edge sharpness that surprised me. Even in low light conditions, the images remained relatively crisp. I noticed more grain in the shadows of pictures taken in low light, but it didn’t interfere with the overall image quality.

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. If you’re taking photos in autumn, I think this film would do a fantastic job of naturally accentuating the foliage. It can also counterbalance the cool tones if you shoot in an environment overpowered by blues. Fujifilm is set to release a new colour film in the US, called Fujfilm 400 – while its current Superia X-Tra 400 film is listed as “discontinued” by at least one American retailer. Next you’ll do the same with contrast straight off a scan. For me, I actually prefer not very much contrast as I only scan, never enlarge, so I like fine tuning contrast in LR after I’ve scanned. Every time I do these comparisons I get traditionalists who are upset that I focus so much attention on scanning. To you folks, I would remind you that the same things that make a negative good for printmaking are also good things for scanning and just because I don’t go through the full enlarging process here doesn’t make this study less valid, even for folks who do. Fujicolor Superia is a Fujifilm brand of daylight balanced colour negative film introduced ca.1998 primarily aimed at the consumer market, but was also sold in a professional 'press' variant. A key feature at launch was the '4th' cyan colour layer designed to provide improved colour reproduction under fluorescent lighting. Its Kodak equivalent is the Kodacolor (later Kodak) Gold/Ultramax line.The Joey’s Subs photo shows off the bright colors and detail rendered by this film. Compare the 100% crop of the swallow at 1600 EI (roll 2) to the 100% of the Joey’s Subs shot — where the stars on the flag showed good detail at 400 EI. I wished I had a wide-angle lens at times, but now and then, you need a challenge and “work with what you brung” as we tend to say here in Ohio. 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. The Fuji Superia 400 is a C-41 color negative 35mm film with a cellulose triacetate film base. The speed is ASA-400 with a latitude of +/- one or two stops. The Aesthetic Qualities of the Fuji Superia 400 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.
