Strength:
None in comparison to Fuji Superia 800
Weakness:
Poor exposure latitude. Poor colour rendition for less well exposed areas of the picture. Needs to be overexposed for good results. As with Agfa Vista 800, I was a little disappointed after trying Konica Centuria Super 800. Grain is generally less noticable on 15x10cm prints than with Vista 800, but any underexposure results in colours taking on an unpleasant greenish-brown hue. The limited exposure latitude of the film means that this can occur even when other parts of the photograph are correctly exposed. The problem is reduced by overexposing 1 stop, but for me this defeats the purpose of using 800 speed film. Flash photography resulted in photos that lacked sharpness and looked washed out. I subsequently tried some Fuji Superia 800 and found to be in a different league in terms of exposure latitude, contrast and colour saturation.
