Fuji Superia X-TRA 3 Pack ISO 400 36 Exp. 35mm Film, Total 108 Exposures

Product Information

Portra, as you might expect from the name, is ideal for portrait photography. It’s a low-contrast film though you can increase the saturation and contrast with overexposure. The colors aren’t vibrant enough to suit landscape photography or even cityscapes since the images have a pastel tint, but that feature makes portraits look incredibly flattering. If you want the most precise image possible, I recommend at least partly sunny conditions, but it’s hard to take a bad picture with this film.

In one particular case, I ended up using it as a 120 emulsion because someone gifted it to me. This film had been well taken care of–which basically means that it was kept in the freezer. If that’s what you do, then your film will always look gorgeous. When you take it out, let it thaw out and for best results, I generally let it sit in room temperature for around 24 hours. Then you shoot it and develop it. The results are bound to come out gorgeous. In this case, I used the film in the Pentax 67 with a 105mm f2.4. And the images are fantastic. An ISO 100/21° speed portrait film aimed at professionals and enthusiasts, originally known as Fuji Reala (CS). First 4th layer technology film for improved colors (no greenish cast) under fluorescent lighting later extended to fujifilm Superia and Pro color negative films.

By the 1980s, they manufactured photographic film for consumers. As film photography fell out of style, they merged with Xerox and produced digital cameras. These days, they only manufacture a few types ofconsumer film.

A brief history of the Fujifilm Superia film line and the technology behind it.

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.I remember shooting the new XP – not “2” – many years ago. Did you know that Agfa briefly made one, too? And Ilford used to have a C-41 developing kit designed for home use; lower temperatures OK. And Kodak made one until very recently. Beyond the specific color tones, the overall richness of the colors in the Fuji Superia 400 is impressive. Even when I took photos in low light, the colors looked vibrant and bright. However, it seemed like the film produced the best results with natural or bright light conditions.

This mirrors last year’s rebranding of Fujicolor C200 as Fujicolor 200 in the US. This film was also made in the US and analysis of its datasheet showed it was exactly the same as Kodak Gold 200 – including Kodak’s terms for colours, rather than Fujifilm’s. What’s exposure latitude? Exposure latitude is essentially how much a picture can be under or overexposed while retaining as much information as possible. Basically, Portra 400 has very good exposure latitude, which means you’ll get more information from the shadows and highlights. All this being said, Superia’s biggest claim to fame is its color rendition, which is simply fantastic. The gorgeous tones and stunning saturation are traits we most often find in pricier, “professional” film, and it’s even more stunning when we consider the low cost of Superia. This film absolutely shines when capturing vibrant scenes of the natural world, as well as bustling urban cityscapes. Colors are saturated without looking garish, and blues and greens render beautifully. The only caveat with Superia 400’s color rendition in daylight is that it might have a tendency to render lighter skins with a pinkish tone that may be unflattering for portraiture. On balance, over-exposure can help with this as well. As we increase the exposure times we see a shift that pushes dark tones closer to the highlights, tightening the curve, rendering skin brighter and making contrast from facial shadows less visible. 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. If you shoot with film, you’re interested in the aesthetic qualities of each roll. While it’s possible to change everything in Photoshop, harnessing the organic aspects of the film can help you create stunning, unique images. Understanding what Fuji Superia 400 offers empowers you to let it play up the beauty of your photos. Breaking Down the ASA of Fuji Superia 400

User Reviews

I found the results given by the new “Made in USA” Fujifilm 400 very satisfactory. However, I think my conversion setup and Negative Lab Pro settings may tend to over-saturate the colors a bit. The colors definitely pop, and I can’t quite judge if that’s the film, or my setup. I deliberately lowered NLP’s saturation setting a bit on the EI 1600 push, and Lima rolls (rolls 2 and 3 respectively). Both Portra 400 and Fuji Superia are known for having fine grain, however, Portra 400 should have the finer grain of the two.
