Fujifilm C200 35mm 36exp Colour Film 5 Pack

Product Information

While C200 does continue this trend, don’t be fooled into thinking it’ll present your sunny-at-the-time holiday memories as some gloomy alternate reality. What I got from my couple of rolls was certainly still vivid enough. The English-language version of the datasheet for Fujicolor C200 has a diagram showing the film’s spectral sensitivity curves. But that begs the question – why bother shooting second-rate consumer grade film at any time? Why waste my money on cheap film? I could get lots of shots, but those shots wouldn’t be nearly as clean, or characterful, or interesting as if I’d made them on higher-cost film, right? Of course that means it’s not as versatile as the Industrial 400, but that doesn’t matter too much for me. If I know I’m shooting an ISO 200 film, I won’t go out and do it in bad light anyway. And when I returned to the States and received the scans, I was floored. That willingness to explore encouraged by consumer film combined with the unexpected quality of the film itself resulted in some of my best and most personally fulfilling work to date.

This film is definitely not a first choice for professional work, or editorial assignment. It does the job of making a photo, but it doesn’t capture the range of details, highlights, and shadows you would want for a high end assignment. If you’re a street photographer who likes to shoot without thinking, but does think about the budget, this film could also be an option. Think of it as the best film to train with, or to pop into a point-and-shoot. It’s not like a JCH Street Pan 400, or a CineStill 800T, or a Kodak Ektachrome E100; all of which genuinely are special in their own ways, and are often used to shoot their own specialised kind of photography. Street, neon signs, and colourful inanimate objects respectively. That being said, I dread the day that I can’t recommend C200 or any other consumer film because they’ve all been discontinued, and it looks that’ll happen sooner rather than later. It would be a slap in the face to those who kept film alive through its toughest days, and it would shoot the entire industry in the foot by turning off thousands of prospective new shooters. It would be a tragedy, plain and simple. Even if something did somehow go wrong and you lost your shots, dispiriting as that would be, at least you haven’t also wasted an expensive Ektachrome E100 or rare discontinued Fujicolor Natura 1600, for example. A film that delivers high-quality colour renditions and moderate grain, Fujifilm C200 is forgiving with highlights and known for providing reliable results across different lighting situations.On the other hand, Kodak Alaris IS returning certain admired films to their offerings – hopefully this will include the long-promised return of Ektachrome slide film. Perhaps it’s because Kodak doesn’t manufacture a serious line of digital cameras in which to emulate certain film looks…Or maybe they DO see a market that Fuji doesn’t. Or maybe they’re just real decent folks with a concept of loyalty to loyal customers…

The grain was always low across both rolls I shot, as you’d expect from an ISO 200 film. Overall, I have to say the image quality and qualities were everything I could ask for and more from a budget, general use, average film. I wasn’t so sure. Conventional wisdom would dictate that I leave the C200 at home for casual shooting and trust the bigger names for the truly important moments. After waffling for a few minutes, I made up my mind. I’d bring C200, and only C200, as my film of choice for the trip. The decision made, I was still uneasy. At your local pharmacy, in most multimedia or camera shops, and even in supermarkets between the dairy and shampoo aisle, you might come across Fuji C200. A cheap price, fine grain, and quite saturated colors make this film a versatile and widely available option for everyday film photographers.Fujifilm works with a pool of valued partners around the world as part of the production process to ensure we can continue to deliver high-quality imaging products to delight customers. Professional films are formulated to exact sensitivities and color profiles and manufactured with the intention that they will be bought, shot, and processed within days of distribution. further refined sharpness" that will deliver "the kind of image quality and clarity you expect from ISO100 films". I agree about the “slap in the face” to those of us who’ve kept film alive and vibrant (and not just in the few years since its “re-discovery”). Manufacturers are not in business to lose money through inefficient economies of manufacture. Perhaps Fuji is only recognizing that reality in sweeping away its many fine films. And yes, perhaps they have all the expertise necessary to “emulate” such films in their digital cameras for those of us who still hold a fondness for a certain aesthetic. C200 is an ISO200 film. In that sense it's a Fuji equal of Kodak Gold 200 which is also a film meant for the consumer market with ISO200. The real alternative to Gold 200 was actually the Fujifilm Superia 200 but it was killed in 2017. C200 remains as the older tech version of Superia 200. Older because the Superia line of films have a 4th layer of the film. 4th layer that is said to help with color rendition. C200 does not have that.
