Character & history#

A premium ISO 100-speed emulsion delivering exceptional color accuracy. The finest, smoothest grain and the best sharpness of all Superia films. First 4th layer technology film for improved colors (no greenish cast) under fluorescent lighting later extended to fujifilm Superia and Pro color negative films (CS).

Exposure guide at ISO 100#

Sunny 16 for this film: f/16 at 1/100 s in bright sun. Negative film tolerates 2–3 stops of overexposure; slide film needs accuracy within about ⅓–½ stop.

Push & pull options#

Tell your lab how many stops you pushed or pulled so development is adjusted for the whole roll.

Pull 1 stopEI 50Lower contrast, finer grain
Push 1 stopEI 200More contrast and grain
Push 2 stopsEI 400Strong contrast, coarse grain, blocked shadows

Developing C-41: Standard colour-negative chemistry available at almost every lab and in home kits (Tetenal/Cinestill Cs41).

Long exposures#

Most films suffer reciprocity failure beyond about 1 second: they need more exposure than the meter says. As a rule of thumb add ⅓–1 stop for 1–10 s and 1–2 stops beyond 10 s for older emulsions; modern T-grain films (and Fuji Acros) need much less. Check the manufacturer's datasheet.
