The second installment of photographic films for you, I haven't got the courage up to combat Kodak, so I thought I'd enlighten you on Fuji's vast array; black and white, colour negative (print film) and chrome films (slide film). Please bare with me, this is going to take a little time. Fuji has the decency and intelligence to keep updating the technology of their films, which means that even the non-professional films have a very high standard of colour reproduction and grain quality; it also means (as they usually keep the original product on the market as well as the NEW, IMPROVED version), that the selection of films on offer is enormous ...  Read the complete review

It always amazes me how many of my friends still buy their film one at a time from high street chains like WHSmiths and Boots. For those who do know their stuff about films and suppliers - look away now - this is only a rough guide to get people started. I can't top the op that is currently holding a crown for listing the pros and cons of every fuji film in the world, ever - so here's all you need to know - nutshell style. I'm a big Fuji fan because not only do they have the most astounding range of films but I find that in crude terms, Fuji makes things brighter and Kodak makes things warmer - and, of the two I prefer brighter pics.

One of the best amateur films you can buy, the 35mm Superia or Reala film offers excellent colour rendition, good exposure latitude and superb grain characteristics. More flexible to unusual lighting conditions then some other well known brands a well exposed Superia negative can easily be blown up to 18" x 12" size without unwanted grain artifacts showing through. Consistent across all speed ranges from ISO 100 - ISO 800 Highly recommended to those who value accurate colours from their film. ...  Read the complete review

I am a professional photographer and my photos have been used to advertise Fuji film in the past. However there are situations where Kodak rules. I shoot predominately fashion stories for American magazines , which means good skin tones and fine grain . Kodak is the winner in this field. Kodak 160NC (which comes in 35mm as well as 120-220 roll format) is a great film for natural looking / healthy skin tones. I prefer kodak 160VC though which is a punchier richer film but can exacerbate redness in the skin - like zits! The VC stands for very contrasty and NC natural color. In bright daylight say on holiday if you can get some 160VC I highly recommend it to give your ...  Read the complete review

Fuji Superia v Kodak Gold. For me this is simply no contest. Having used Kodak Gold (various ASAs) for many years I recently tried Fuji Superia. I was absolutely amazed at the difference in colour accuracy. I had thought Kodak Gold was of a very high standard but Fuji Superia really is superior. Both films are of course of very high standard and quality in respect of lack of grain. The difference is only in the colours. This is especially apparent indoors with flash. Pricewise there is nothing to choose between the two either ...  Read the complete review
