Price and processing (they can spoil your film).

Nice color. But I have always been a Fuji fan because the blues are nice. You see, since there is no blue in human skincolor the contrast is always startling when taking pictures of people in sunny weather. Fuji is absolutely the best in these conditions. The 800 film also....

Fine-grained - if you expose it properly - for an 800 print film. Great with flash. Generally good for any indoor sports, low-light situations, etc.

The "4th layer technology" that Fuji slaps on everything related to the Press series - the extra blue, basically - can sometimes screw up the color balance. It''s easily fixable in Photoshop, and you might even be able to find a decent photo finisher who can balance the colors. Tends to be expensive, so it''s an individual decision on price vs. quality.

After shooting this stuff on almost a daily basis for a good six months, I can say it''s by far some of the best 800 I''ve used so far. Of course, it comes with all the minuses of any 800 - underexposure causes ridiculous grain and the colors aren''t always quite perfect (skin tones, especially), but if you do everything correctly, you''ll be pleasantly surprised.

pleasing results for 800 film even better with flash mega flash range if you need fast film, use it

a little expensive but you get what you pay for can be hard to find but hey, the best products are always hard to come by!!

Shot 2 rolls of it last year. The reason for not using any more of it is because I stick to slower film for image quality and do not like to go faster than 200 or 400 unless I have to. One roll was at the Motocross races at night with slow-sync flash (faster film has increased flash range). The other was at the Houston Rockets game with no flash. Overall, the grain and color was better than expected for an 800 film. In available light it was definitely acceptable. With flash fill, the flashlit part is beautiful!! Comparable to 400 or even 200 films.

Kodak max 800 (never again) Fuji 1600-cant remember which one

Great for outdoors when the sky turns overcast. This faster film gives me more flexibility when handholding, since the shutter speeds are higher over 400 speed film, so this may become my regular all purpose film.

Skin tones aren''t so flattering with this film. Perhaps I need subjects with better complexion! :) Seriously though, I don''t think this is the right film for portraiture shots since there is quite a bit of graininess. That''s probably where the finer grained Fuji NPZ 800 will outperform this film. In all fairness, comparing the grain to Kodak Portra 160NC, I think this film is quite good value.

This film is marginally grainier than Fuji Superia 400, if looking closely at a 4x6" print. I have only shot one roll of this so far, and at ASA640, just to ensure that the film is not underexposed. Since I''ve mostly shot with 100, 200 and 400 Superia, I don''t really know if 800 films like this are expected to be that much noticeably grainier. Also seemed less contrasty to Superia 400. Personally, I am a little disappointed, but perhaps I''ll keep shooting more, and reserve my judgment once I''ve finished the brick (20 rolls) that I bought. Perhaps the person working at my photo lab was having a bad day on that one test roll. Hehehe.

Can't find it in UK...yet.!

I have enlarged my prints and used them as artwork in my new home in sizes of 10x12, 12x16 and 20x16. Don't go above this. Rated at 640 its even better. (Use this or Reala for print film)
But if these aren't good enough you should be using Medium Format or Velvia/Sensia/Provia/Astia anyway.

Good skin colour tone with grain of fuji superia 400 ISO

Weakening in colour when under exposed.

This is a good film for indoor, especially for function which are held indoors. It is also good for sport. The film produce good colour and resolution when compared to other fast films. This film should be overexposed by 1/2 stops to produce good colour saturation.

Great sports film - Indoors or out. Very sharp and contrasty and will produce Nice 11x14" enlargements when properly exposed. Works extremely well with flash.

Does not handle underexposure well. Best when exposed at about 640-800 ASA (based on my experience)

I shoot about 60 - 90 rolls per year of this film. It has become my general purpose sports film, especially for newspaper work. It works very well either indoors or out, even in bright sun. I also use it with a flash at dark local sports venues, in order to get a quality shoot even in the "Available Darkness". Bottomline - expose this film at 640-800 ASA, with pro-quality optics, and it will produce beautiful images that will produce very nice 11x14" enlargements (with little noticable grain.)

The Fuji folks are more than willing to answer any question that you might have about their products.

Useful when you want more SNAP than NHG-2.

Like all fast films, it has way too much grain.

If you need the speed and you want CONTRAST , this is the beast, I think.

Beats Royal Gold with a large stick. The Kodak just isn't close.

Excellent qualilty at 800. But, I normally do indoor stuff and cannot use a flash resulting in a need to push the film as much as 3 stops to 6400. Although susceptible to underexposure at that speed, an over compensation of +2/3 on my camera produces very good contrast.

A little too susceptible to underexposure in certain lighting conditions and developing costs for 800 speed film and up are pretty high.

Excellent film for sports and most low light situations. Also, if it's good enough for the NY Times, it's good enough for me.

Kodak Max 800, which I do not recommend.

Fast film, great colors, fine grain.

Little expensive here in Brazil.

This is the definitive 800-speed film. It has great color rendition (except on deep blue tones, but it still performs very well on blues) and very fine grain for a 800-ISO speed film. I have used it on a rock concert and the pictures look great!
