Konica VX 200 Super

[Arvay]

After 5 or 6 years of my full denial of this film I came across some film in some absolutely far from photography shop. I bought ten rolls and 4 of them expired in 2007, 2 in 2008 (April), 4 are goign to in 2009 (!)
strange but I loved colours of it. Here is few pics from 2007 film

Konica Hexar AF, no color ajustments in PS, scanned with Auto Level (Vuescan)

Does Konica still produces film and if not why I got 4 rolls of a new film?

Tonal range seems fine, for me. Second frame is like how fuji 160c would look. Metro...subway shot hasn't green monster - from fluorescent lightning. ISO200 is overlooked - I'm finishing batch of Superia200 and it's very good for it's price - colors are more smooth than sup100 has, it's not grainy despite what purists claim iso200 for.

Dave Murphy has been selling some of this film for a while. I haven't scanned any of mine because I exposed it incorrectly and all my slides came back overexposed. My fault.

However, it seems good to me.

Solares, seems you got another film (slides). VX Super is print film. Oh, you mean Konica at all?
Should get some rolls, because Konica cameras have stickers inside suggesting which is proper film to use 😉

I was always a fan of the Konica print films. I found their colours quite natural for a consumer-grade film. RIP.
