Fujifilm Fujicolor C200 35 mm 36 Exposure Colour Print Camera Film Twin Pack

Product Information

In that sense, I guess it’s little different to Kodak’s Gold 200 or Colorplus 200 or Ultramax 400, or any of the Ilford consumer grade monochrome films either. I agree about the “slap in the face” to those of us who’ve kept film alive and vibrant (and not just in the few years since its “re-discovery”). Manufacturers are not in business to lose money through inefficient economies of manufacture. Perhaps Fuji is only recognizing that reality in sweeping away its many fine films. And yes, perhaps they have all the expertise necessary to “emulate” such films in their digital cameras for those of us who still hold a fondness for a certain aesthetic. For whatever reason, it is good to see them advancing into the adventure at the same time Fuji is retreating.

Both Fujifilm and Kodak have struggled to meet demand for colour negative film as analogue photography has regained popularity over the last five years. But the situation has been exacerbated since the coronavirus pandemic began in early 2020.After this test, I went all-in on Fuji C200. For my style of photography and typical San Diego lighting conditions, I find it vastly superior. Whenever I test or review a half-frame camera for halfframeclub.com, I load Fuji C200, set the film speed to 100 and shoot. I’ve noticed that it has significantly finer grain than Kodak Gold 200, which is a benefit when you are shooting half-frame negatives. Fujifilm is pleased to continue the legacy of analog photography and film so all generations can experience the joy of photography.’ A trip to the gorgeous countryside around Yangshuo in southern China would be a good place to see the C200’s green reproduction too.

Fujicolor C200 is not like those. As a budget, ISO 200 colour negative film that gives you those more muted Fuji results, and with that dated-looking box design, it’s easy to write it off as the very definition of average. I shot mine on a couple of trips I took, as you’ll see from the sample photographs later, and found it did a more than serviceable job. I was genuinely pleased with the results. Instead of degrading it for not being a special colour negative film like a Kodak Ektar 100 or a Portra 400, I like to recognise it for what it is. A reliable general use film that gives you exactly what you expect, with whatever working camera you have, in almost all good light situations, and at low cost. That ISO 200 rating is good too, freeing you up to shoot in slightly worse light than you could with the Industrial 100, or any ISO 100 film for that matter.I could leave the article there, but stopping now wouldn’t explain exactly why it felt so important to shoot Fuji C200. I’d be ignoring the alarming situation at hand.

This little test is really about discovering which readily available consumer-grade 200 ISO C-41 film best fits my needs. Your needs may well differ from mine, so this test isn’t for everyone and shouldn’t be considered “definitive”. I’m sharing my results as I believe they have some value for other people in the community and well, it’s fun. Minimum variation in color and gradation during push/pull processing over a range from -1/2 to +1 stop, providing an expanded range of phototaking opportunities, as well as facilitating fine adjustments in exposure and density during processing and allowing an increase in speed of up to +2 stops (equal to E.I.400), depending on the scene. Professional-quality, medium-speed, daylight-type color reversal film with ultrafine grain (RMS *2 : 8), designed to provide medium color saturation and contrast compared to other films in the 100F series.Suited to a wide range of applications, such as product, landscape, nature and fashion photography as well as portraiture.Provides ideal color saturation and contrast, making it suitable for all types of subject matter, along with minimal variation in performance even in long exposures and the ability to be push-processed up to +2 stops with excellent results. So, what is Fujicolor C200? Well, first up, it’s Fujicolor 200. Second, it’s probably not a film for producing fine art with. But, in my opinion, it’s a pretty good budget film for when you’re just out there preserving memories.push/pull) ในช่วงตั้งแต่ -1/2 ถึง +1 สตอป ทำให้มีโอกาสในการถ่ายภาพได้หลากหลายแบบมากขึ้น รวมทั้งช่วยในการปรับการเปิดรับแสงและความหนาแน่นอย่างละเอียดได้ง่ายขึ้นในระหว่างการประมวลผล สามารถเพิ่มความเร็วได้สูงถึง +2 สตอป (เท่ากับ E.I.400) ขึ้นอยู่กับสถานที่ It’s not like a JCH Street Pan 400, or a CineStill 800T, or a Kodak Ektachrome E100; all of which genuinely are special in their own ways, and are often used to shoot their own specialised kind of photography. Street, neon signs, and colourful inanimate objects respectively. Sure it doesn’t have the dynamic range of Portra, but I’m fairly careful with my metering when shooting portraits and I try and find nice even lighting. It does have a bit of grain in the darker areas, but I like that. And in a full frame format with a decent scanner I find it a very attractive grain. The film also has a wide exposure latitude, which means you’ll have to try hard to really under or overexpose it. I think a good place to test this out would be a sunny day at the beach, with the strong light and bright sands giving the film the perfect excuse if it couldn’t handle it. The datasheet for the new Fujicolor 200 film in the US has strong similarities to that of a Kodak colour negative film.

Note: This is a review of the original Fujicolor C200, currently this film is being marketed under the name F ujicolor 200 which is a rebrand of Kodak Gold 200 in North America. This film is definitely not a first choice for professional work, or editorial assignment. It does the job of making a photo, but it doesn’t capture the range of details, highlights, and shadows you would want for a high end assignment. If you’re a street photographer who likes to shoot without thinking, but does think about the budget, this film could also be an option. Think of it as the best film to train with, or to pop into a point-and-shoot. Vivid skin tone reproduction with the world's highest color saturation equal to that of the current Velvia. Superb color tone depiction for rich color reproduction. And when I returned to the States and received the scans, I was floored. That willingness to explore encouraged by consumer film combined with the unexpected quality of the film itself resulted in some of my best and most personally fulfilling work to date. Smooth gradation reproduction with superb depth, thanks to bias-free, brilliant highlights and excellent highlight-to-shadow gradation linearity.The first time I took this film was because I had an urgent need of negative film to take on a holiday. Thanks to the low price I could not help but make it my beautiful escort. But what does all this have to do with me shooting Fuji C200 on vacation? To make a long story short, I was once one of those new and less moneyed shooters. Consumer film was all I shot for years. Even though by many standards those films weren’t technically impressive, they gave me the opportunity to practice and appreciate the craft. And more often than not, those films would give me images that would inspire me to keep film alive in my own way. By choosing C200, I wanted to see if consumer films could still do that for me, even as an experienced shooter. What I ended up finding was a lot more valuable. After waffling for a few minutes, I made up my mind. I’d bring C200, and only C200, as my film of choice for the trip. The decision made, I was still uneasy. For the moment, the new branding only appears to be in the US. The listing for the film in the UK still refers to the film as Fujcolor C200.
