Fujicolor Industrial 100

I saw this on sale in Japan. Has anyone used this before? It is a slow speed colour film and not sure how it performs in terms of grain and colour tones.

I have attached a photo of how it looks like:

I've been shooting this- I got a brick of it from Japan Exposures/Megaperls. Nice stuff. Last roll is in my MP now.

That looks good. Have your tried to convert the shots to b/w?

 

[sepiareverb]

No, I shoot B&W.

Whenever I read "Fujicolor" instead of "Superia", I believe it is little simplified emulsion without cyan layer. Time ago I heard in local lab that Fuji is dropping cyan layer to mhm...stay competitive? Maybe that's all B.S. - personally I don't pretend I understabd Fuji film naming schemes across markets.

At least, it looks decent stuff, especially when Superia 100 has disappeared.

I've often suspected Fuji has only three films.

My local Target store used to carry 12 exposure rolls of Fuji 100. I liked it, but they stopped carrying it in 2008. I noticed recently that Adorama still carries 12, 24, and 36 exposure rolls of this film. I wonder if it is the same film as what is being described in the original post.

Here is an example of an image captured with this film:

May I know what good or bad does the cyan layer do to colours of the photo?

From what I understand, it is supposed to reduce the white balance issues from shooting in mixed lighting. For example, with daylight balanced film, if you shoot an indoor photo with flash and the room is lit with florescent bulbs, your subject will look normal, but the background, illuminated by the ambient florescent lighting, will have a green cast. Fuji claims that their 4th color layer technology reduces these types of color casts.

Thanks, Jon. I forgot about this thread that I started many years ago.
