And while C200 might be average in the film world, consider that it’s a product long-made by one of the very best film manufacturers in the actual world. 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.

It's relatively forgiving of bad exposure without the need for compensating in the lab, but I would recommend metering this film at EI100 if you want more consistent results. My memory is vague but there were some myths around film back in that time, Fuji is more suitable for Asian compared to Kodak, because it was made in Japan. That being said, because of it's love of reds to yellows, it works superbly well for sunset photography and the richness of its greens mean it's ideal for foliage photography. As I continue to shoot film and build up experience, I’m finding the more freely I shoot, the more likely it is I’ll have something in the results that I really like.

Everything I do and what I learn along the way gets shared on here, to inform and inspire you to get out and shoot as much - and as well - as you can too. If the positivity makes you want to grab some Fujicolor C200 / 200 for yourself, you’re not going to find it hard to track down. When you want a fine-grained and natural-looking result under mixed daylight conditions, C200 is the ideal choice. This will be enforced by the warehouse team - apologies in advance for any inconvenience, this will be lifted as soon as the global supply chain settles down. The first thing that I noticed after developing the first roll was the pink / magenta cast on most of the film.

Outside of any casts the colors appear natural with an extra boost in contrast and a tiny boost in saturation.

Of course that means it’s not as versatile as the Industrial 400, but that doesn’t matter too much for me. 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.
