Strength:
Outdoor situations. Excells with grass, skys and skintones.
Weakness:
Low light, but hey, this is 100 speed film. Just stay within range of your flash. I love this film. It is wonderful for shoting outdoors and indoors when used with flash. I typically run my F100 1/3 stop underexposed and the color saturation is eye popping. Customer Service Aorama, great. Fuji, never contacted them.

Grain & colour
Weakness:
Price! The ISO-100 film is quite possibly the best 35mm print film available to amateur photographer. I was recommended it by a friend and was immediately impressed by the grain quality and the colours. Even the finest Kodak make couldn't hold a candle up to it! I agree with one of the other reviewers - avoid supermarket printing labs (which in the Uk primarily use Kodak printing machines) and especially avoid those "1-hour" kiosks. Go for the Diamond Lazer printing (as offered by Jessops) - for an extra Pound, you will be delighted with the results. Customer Service Don't know Similar Products Used: The various Kodaks on offer (Gold, Royal Gold etc)- all purporting to be "the best." Not a chance! |

I thought the grain was great and it really had good outtakes in the people and worked good in buildlings.

Strength:
Truly the best all around 100 film "juicy" colours
Weakness:
requires good photo lab to unleash the true potential slow film for me. But shows miracolous results when used with a tripod. This is the best 100 film. I love its colours, and i do agree with one of the reviewers that it needs to be overexposed. ESPECIALLY when you are using polarizing filter. I overexposed +0.5, and +1.0, and the compared it to "original" (0.0). The colours were MUCH better. But, this varies from camera to camera, so dont overxpose right away! get a couple of test shots. The other thing (if you overxpose - especially important) is to find a knowledgeable lab. Kodak will mess it up. I was looking for a pro lab with fuji equipment for a while, and im telling, there is a difference! If your pics are overexposed, they can always darken them (but not the other way around - colours will fade, grain'll come up - thats why i hte kodak consumer labs). Customer Service Fuji isnt all that descriptive, as opposed to Kodak, which has all the details of its films on their website. Similar Products Used: i have used so much, ill get tired typing. I even used Pakistani film! |

Strength:
This film bring exceptional colors with minimal grain. I have used KODAK, KONICA, Agfa,FUJI for the price and ASA range, couldn't find any better. Colors may be even more amazing with slide films, but they are not without their flaws (price). As mentioned before, full stop overexposure does it wonders, without affecting skin tones that much. for 24''X18'' it showed no visible grain using SIGMA 24-70 with cokin polarizer and f/8. (no optical distortion too, for that matter).
Weakness:
Slow, slightl pricey, you need a knowledgable lab (but that's always the problem, with every film. If u want to shoot people only, FUJI has a film called PROPLUS for half the price, which does an equally fine job for portraits. Excellent film for scenery and people photography. Great colors, fine grain. Slow for shooting with tele. Similar Products Used: Quiet a lot. |

Strength:
Beautiful colours. Minimum grain. Negligible green tint under fluorescent lighting.
Weakness:
Slightly costly compared to others in it's range. Not readily available at common stores like Walmart, Target etc. A great film, arguably the best in consumer films. Colours are excellent and grain is minimal in it's range. I used it for people, landscapes, sunsets etc and the photos have been great most of the time. Highly recommended for indoor shots under Fluorescent lighting. I tried one roll and the results were amazing. Ofcourse, make sure you use flash. Customer Service For what?

Strength:
- beautiful skin tones - vivid colour saturation - low contrast / great shadow detail - fine grain - high sharpness - 4th color layer reduces green tint under flourescent lighting
Weakness:
you wont find it at Walmart! go to a reputable camera store! and also, I hope Fuji comes up with a 400 ISO version of this film that would be AWESOME... This film was my first stab at a premium film, after using the Kodak Maxes, Fuji Superias and Konica Centurias. I took a roll of this film using a Minolta SLR (no filters or exposure compensation) in almost all lighting conditions, and I found the results to be absolutely STUNNING. Unlike Fuji's Superia line, which heavily oversaturates reds, and their XTRA line which heavily oversaturates blues, this film's colour balance is perfect. This film does exceptionally well with outdoor landscape photography because of the vivid color saturation. Reala's skin tones are the best that I've ever seen; pics of my friends and family came out looking terrific. Reala's contrast is low, so there isn't much chance of an up-close flash pic being terribly over exposed and washed out. This film has the finest grain of all, and it's sharpness and clarity is impeccable, which is suprising for a lower-contrast film. Top notch for enlargements! I love this film, I wouldn't hesitate to use it on special occasions. Try it!! |

Strength:
I love the color, grain and tones given to this film..I shoot a canon 7e with the 28-70M L lens and at +1/2 exposure.. The results I get are stunning.
Weakness:
None except for the confusion above. I contacted Fuji because I didn''t know there were two Reala''s..I noted in photographyreview.com there were two listed..Fuji assured me there is only one Reala they manufacture and the labeling..Fuji or Fujicolor is only a labeling issue not a manufacturing difference....both films are one and the same....i''m confused then by the difference is rating standards for the same film...someone out there is confused...not me!! Customer Service contact fuji...very quick responses. Similar Products Used: many many many |
