OK, here's a somewhat color corrected version of one of those, and a crop. I prefer my blue/green cast versions. FWIW, I can't imagine choosing or rejecting a film based on a color cast, if you are going to be scanning. It is easy to fix if you don't like it. The scans are with the Nikon 5000ED and Vuescan, no sharpening.

i checked the fuji-website and one of the largest onlineshops for film.

Even my local pro-photo store, with it's steadily dwindling offerings of film types, has 5 packs in 35mm and 120.
As for the film itself, it's the only color I shoot anymore, specifically because of the cooler colors. I can't stand the reds and yellows of portra!
(by the by, the lower saturation and cooler cast is the way the film was designed to be, I've got a fuji databook around here somewhere that lists the differences)
@mabelsound, I'm surprised you have that much grain in your negatives. Whenever I used NPZ it was quite smooth.

Really? It could be that I left it in the dev too long...I was kinda doing two things at once at the time. I quite like the grain though so perhaps I'll keep souping while distracted...
As far as the cast goes, yeah, I like film, lenses, and sensors that render coolly and a bit blue...I also really love the Epson R-D1 with Zeiss 28/2.8...great detail and cool colors.

so, after some googling it really seems that one can get only the 120-version in europe.
come on fuji, that really can't be true!

pro 800Z is one of my favourite colour negative films. i usually shoot slides but when i want a fast colour negative for night, 800Z does it for me. too bad i cant find it in s.korea.
some shots from my rolleiflex 2.8GX:
I just want to add, aside from the film, that these pictures are practically an advertisement for using a TLR. You'd have to be lying on your side on the wet pavement in order to compose this on a rangefinder!

This is probably the nicest color film I've used under decidedly mixed-lighting conditions.

thanks for putting up some samples, i have one roll finished but need to get it developed. how do the colours compare in your opinion to 400H? i really like 400H which is supposed to be more neutral.
i also saw some comments about Press 800, that is just Superia 800 in different packaging, with slightly more consistent handling at the factory? 800z is supposed to be a lot better. i really like Press 800 too and it's cheap! ($3 at B&H), it's not as saturated as the faster Superia films

Hi Johnny Moped,
it isn't true.. I just recently bought 2 rolls of 35mm Pro 800Z at a local (now mainly digital) photo store. If I remember correctly, I paid something like EUR 7,50 per roll.
I did "waste" those two rolls in a Lomo Fisheye, but still: abso-freaking-lutely beautiful colors!! I couldn't believe it. Especially compared to the 2years expired Superia 800 I normally use in that Fisheye..
However, I have to admit that I haven't seen it for sale online anywhere in Germany or Austria.. There's hope, though: maybe these guys will ship it to you: http://www.blende7.at/fujifilms.htm I've been to the shop quite a few times, but never ordered online. Don't even know if its possible..
Greetings, Gurkenprinz

I used up some rolls of NPz 800 that expired in 2005 or so that was stored in a fridge. I really liked it but I haven't bought any since. I don't really shoot colour very often, but if I needed to I would have a few rolls of this in my bag for sure.

I've been a fan of 800z for a while. I don't really shoot it as much as i'd like though, but I do have a roll in my Canonet at the moment.
