Strength:
True Outdoor film if used in overcast ambient light. Not a "saturated" film. But true to color memory.
Weakness:
Don''t recommended for use with outdoor flash. Unless used with warming filter. I had two rolls processed about two weeks apart this month. First roll was grainier than latter. Color on both was very good. I used more exposures on a tripod with second roll, which came out very sharp. The color pallet of this film is similar to Kodak Echtachrome slide film. The bluish tone is no too prevalent making outdoor photo''s true to memory. Reds and blues are exacting, as well as gray and browns. Exposure latitude is more acceptable in the underexposed value. Skin tones are somewhat "creamy" but if people portrait''s is your thing you can''t go wrong. Use a tripod and you will see a big difference in exposure/sharpness. Overcast days are the best! If exposures are not true, take it back to lab for reprocessing. They made a mistake. Customer Service Never Similar Products Used: All - Fuji, Konica, Kodak, Agfa, Ilford Polaroid, etc. |

Strength:
- Cheap price
Weakness:
- Grain is not as fine as Kodak & Fuji Good to shoot people outdoors, especially Asian since the skin tone will come out less yellowish. Grainy when compare with Kodak and Fuji 100. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Kodak and Fuji consumer 100 films, |

Strength:
can't find any but I guess it's cheap
Weakness:
not really good for people, blocks highlights a bit, seems sensitive to color temp of light It came as a free roll, it was not outdated. I can see why they gave it away. Sorry, Konica, but I was impressed, not positively. Similar Products Used: ektar 25 (I want it back), RG100, supra 100 (the current winner), fujichromes, etc, in the 100 and lower catagory |

Well ... not sure in there is any! I had bought about 10 rolls the store have for discount - the expiration was good .. but the picture didnot appeal me as I hoped so. I have been using FUJI and KODAK film over the years and gave it a try with other brand - and KONICA was my other option. It lacks the brightness compare to FUJI and lacks the warmthness as KODAK. I am not serious photographer - but to this point - I would not ever use Konica film (that's personal)
Weakness:
Color saturation is lacking - compare to FUJI - there is no depth of color - the green came out light bluish green. And skin tone was mild comparing to KODAK - white skin came out blue pal-yellow at daylight. My favorite is still FUJI SUPER HQ-100 in this price range. It's cheap - and if you are using just for picture taking - this may fit in your budget and taste! But Overall, FUJI and Kodak rules. Customer Service Not needed Similar Products Used: FUJI SUPER HQ-100, KODAK GOLD (not Royal GOld) 100, KODAK Max. |
