Professional-quality, medium-speed, daylight-type, color reversal film with ultrafine grain (RMS *2 : 8) and ultrahigh color saturation through the incorporation of new-generation cyan, magenta and yellow couplers.Suited especially to scenery and nature photography as well as other subjects that require precisely modulated vibrant color reproduction and high image quality.Provides color image stability equal to that of RVP 100F and can be push-processed up to +1 stop with excellent results and little photographic variation. further refined sharpness" that will deliver "the kind of image quality and clarity you expect from ISO100 films". 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. It has a very wide exposure latitude so that even the simplest old camera will return usable images. I’ve shot it successfully at EI 100, 200, and 400 with no loss of quality that I could discern. I’ve seen others shoot it at EI 800 and get acceptable results. Outside of any casts the colors appear natural with an extra boost in contrast and a tiny boost in saturation. There is no "vintage warm" look of the Kodak Gold 200. It's also not as punchy as Kodak Gold 200 but they are not far off.
Finally, that aforementioned wide exposure latitude is a good safety net should the light really be too bright or dim, and the film has good enough dynamic range to render light and dark areas well in the same shot, as you can see with the fish market and pigs shots below. There are sharper color films than Fujicolor 200. But this film is plenty capable of getting good detail. Minolta XG 1, 45mm f/2 Minolta MD Rokkor X Konica Autoreflex T3, 50mm f/1.7 Hexanon AR Olympus Trip 35 Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 Attainment of the world's highest color saturation level equal to that of Velvia (ISO 50) through the incorporation of new cyan, magenta and yellow couplers.
About PhotoBite
As I continue to shoot film and build up experience, I’m finding the more freely I shoot, the more likely it is I’ll have something in the results that I really like. Clearer colors in the highlights and appropriately controlled color saturation in the shadows to allow rendering of subjects with a feeling of three-dimensional realism. As of December, 2021, Fujifilm might have started sourcing an existing film from Kodak and labeling it Fujicolor 200 (article here). This is a review of classic Fujicolor 200. Kodak Pony 135, Model C If you shoot your C200 before it expires, you can most likely get away with not storing in your fridge. Of course, I wouldn’t leave it in direct sunlight or next to my oven either, but keeping it in a cool, dry cupboard for the relatively short time you have it should suffice.
A film that delivers high-quality colour renditions and moderate grain, Fujifilm 200 35mm film is the latest iteration of the world-famous Fujifilm C200. Some of the things that make Fujicolor C200 an average film are the very same things that make it a good choice for your street photography.Fujifilm 200 features enhanced colour reproduction, great sharpness and benefits from a smooth, classic fine grain. Superb skin-tone and hue reproduction with continuously smooth gradation from the highlights to the shadows without any washout.
Finely detailed image formation for large-size enlargements and other work requiring high-magnification as a result of the finest grain among ISO 100 color reversal films. I thought that the reason for this might be a failed development process ( I process my own C-41 ). Then I shot and developed the second roll and got the same results. A slight pink / magenta cast. I was extra careful with my development. I also developed another roll after this to see if the chemicals are starting to wear off. Does not look like it - next roll ( Kodak Ektar ) developed fine with no casts. Now that I’ve heaped praise onto this inexpensive color film, I’m going to tell you that I prefer this film’s slightly slower brother, Fujicolor 100! (I’ve reviewed it twice, here and here.) But that film is hard to come by (it’s officially only available in Japan) and expensive when you do find it. For pennies a frame, it’s hard to beat Fujicolor 200! But enough with the history, how does the film perform? For such a cheap film, it shoots really well. I will go there again taking a picture with a different film to find out if the type of light sources are to blame for that or the Fuji 200 film.
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. 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. C200 is a C-41 color negative film. Fuji says that it's designed for "flexibility and ease of use". And that part is true. Consumer market films are more forgiving so you can over and under expose a decent amount and still get usable results. On the other hand - the colors might not be as nice and grain can be more noticeable. Now under artificial light this is amplified, so you can expect a strong warm color cast (if not using a color filter to change the white balance of course): Leica M6 | MS-Optics 35mm 1.4 Apoqualia | f/2.0 | Fuji 200 Leica M6 | MS-Optics 50mm 1.3 Slim | f/2.0 | Fuji 200 This one was a very interesting experience. In the real world those lights are not green at all and with only altering the global white balance settings this is not something that you can get rid off: Leica M6 | Zeiss 16mm 8.0 Hologon | Fuji 200
Faithful reproduction of neutral grays over a wide exposure range from underexposure to overexposure. Color image storage permanence (anti-fading characteristics) equal to that of RVP 100F as a result of new couplers.I’ve made some of my most satisfying images on Fujicolor 200. Minolta XG 1, 45mm f/2 MD Rokkor-X Canon A2e, 50mm f/1.8 Canon EF Olympus OM-1, 50mm f/1.8 F. Zuiko Auto-S Nikon Nikomat FTn, 50mm f/2 Nikkor H-C Argus a-four Sears KS Super II, Auto Sears 50mm f/2 Nikon N2000, 50mm f/1.8 Nikon Series E It also has a well-saturated color palette, leading to bright and bold colors. This seems to be the biggest criticism of this film. Fortunately, shooting it at EI 100 tones the saturation down a little. But after having shot miles of this film, to me, this is what color film is supposed to look like. Fujifilm 200 is a 200-speed colour film, forgiving with highlights and known for providing reliable results across different lighting situations. 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. The first and most obvious of these is the low price, which means you can spend less energy worrying about how much each shot costs you and more worrying about making photographs.
