Recently I have been using lots of Fuji Superia Reala 100 film and I am extremely impressed with the results. I haven’t found another film to rival it’s realistic colour, sharpness, lack of grain and wonderful ability coping with artificial light sources, especially green casts from florescent lighting.
As with most colour negative films, Reala benefits from a little overexposure, 64 - 80 E.I for best results.
I have discovered it’s major strength is its suitability for scanning. Perhaps this is due to it’s very smooth grain structure?
According to the Fuji Germany website, it has the highest sharpness and fine grain of all colour negative films available from Fujifilm.
My feeling is that not enough enthusiasts know about this film and it’s qualities.
It can be difficult to find stocks in smaller camera stores but is well worth the effort!
My question to members of the forum is;
What are your views and experiences with this film?
Thanks in advance,
