In Reply to: What's your favorite print film for general purpose use? posted by Tim P on September 1, 2002 at 10:28:14:
I have been shooting a variety of Fuji pro film. IMO it is definitely worth the extra expense over consumer film. Most important is that you know different film characteristics and strengths/weaknesses so you can pick the one(s) that best suit your tastes and needs at a particular time.Also, while I have a *slight* preference for Fuji over Kodak (print film), I agree with the last post to get Fuji film printed on a Fuji lab and paper (look for the Frontier labs), and Kodak printed on Kodak paper.
A quick run-down on some of my favorites:
Fuji Reala 100 - Very fine grain, saturated colours that are good for both landscape photography AND portraiture. Not many films manage both at once.
Fuji NPH 400 - Low contrast, slightly muted colours. Good for portraits and street/general photography, if you like that sort of 'mood'. Bumping up the exposure a little (set at ISO 320) adds a more snap to colours.
Fuji NPZ 800 - Vibrant colours, very acceptable grain for ISO 800. Great for hand-held ambient light photography when ISO 400 just doesn't cut it.
