New Fujifilm Fuji Superia Premium (Preview - Japan only film)
I'm going write my impressions in the next few days, but here is a brief introduction.
This new 35mm 400 speed negative film is distributed in Japan and according to the marketing material it is actually designed to reproduce Japanese skin tone in a pleasing way. I didn't actually know this particular fact when I stepped outside to try it out. But, I guess I'm going to be shooting some photos of Japanese friends soon to see what the result will be (I'm sure they will glow radiantly in the photos).
I'll be posting some shots soon, but here is one that has been scanned in using the default profile ("other") in Silverfast. I haven't retouched or color shifted in this image at all.
Released in March of this year, the film is still fairly new. Much more to come soon. I may even have some film available for resale if people are interested.
Notes:
Shooting outdoors without foliage against a muted gray and brown background doesn't do much to show off how this film reacts to Green and Blue, but I will rectify that in the second round.
Being a consumer film I developed this roll at a local quick photo shop and then scanned on an Epson v750 in silverfast using base defaults w/out color modification.
