Fujifilm C200 35mm 36exp Colour Film 5 Pack

Product Information

A film that delivers high-quality colour renditions and moderate grain, Fujifilm C200 is forgiving with highlights and known for providing reliable results across different lighting situations. For the moment, the new branding only appears to be in the US. The listing for the film in the UK still refers to the film as Fujcolor C200. Finally, that aforementioned wide exposure latitude is a good safety net should the light really be too bright or dim, and the film has good enough dynamic range to render light and dark areas well in the same shot, as you can see with the fish market and pigs shots below. Fuji C200 also performs really well with a flash. In indoor settings or as soon as the sun starts to set, it’s imperative to use a flash with it because of its low sensitivity ( that’s what that 200 ISO means).

They also mean C200 is ideal for point ‘n’ shoot cameras that might not meter the light so well or be more restricted with their shutter speed.That ISO 200 rating is good too, freeing you up to shoot in slightly worse light than you could with the Industrial 100, or any ISO 100 film for that matter. One thread on the Reddit board Analog Community referred to changes to the film’s datasheet in the US, which was updated in December 2021. ( See the post here.) The English-language version of the datasheet for Fujicolor C200 has a diagram showing the film’s spectral sensitivity curves.

I'm not so sure about this one. It definitely has a decent amount of grain. Kodak Gold had the same "issue" ( in quotes because grain is not always bad ). C200 has less grain than Gold but it's there. Not sure what ISO100 film has more grain than C200 but I don't imagine there are many of those. For whatever reason, it is good to see them advancing into the adventure at the same time Fuji is retreating. At this point I'm not sure if the cast is a normal C200 thing or not. Maybe the film didn't play well with my development technique. Other films haven't reported issues with it though. Maybe it's a normal C200 look. The cast appears stronger on more over-exposed shots so it could be something to do with that. It's not too strong and you can also fix it in post. Something to be aware of.It also means, if you have experience developing other colour negative films, you’ll be able to do this one yourself too. You can find the datasheet right here. Fujicolor C200 is not like those. As a budget, ISO 200 colour negative film that gives you those more muted Fuji results, and with that dated-looking box design, it’s easy to write it off as the very definition of average. Professional films are formulated to exact sensitivities and color profiles and manufactured with the intention that they will be bought, shot, and processed within days of distribution. But some film photographers on Reddit have discovered elements of the film’s datasheet are the same as that of Gold 200 from Kodak, Fujifilm’s historic rival in the realm of colour negative film. 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.

And when I returned to the States and received the scans, I was floored. That willingness to explore encouraged by consumer film combined with the unexpected quality of the film itself resulted in some of my best and most personally fulfilling work to date. When I reviewed Fuji’s Industrial 100 film, I mentioned how its greens and reds were the colours that popped the most. C200 is similar with the greens, although the reds – while still strong – come out a little darker and less gaudy than with the Industrial.Fujifilm works with a pool of valued partners around the world as part of the production process to ensure we can continue to deliver high-quality imaging products to delight customers. Sharpness itself is good and a sharp lens will deliver sharp results on film. A more professional grade film with more refined grain will yield more detail. For the most part though C200 will deliver more detail than is needed for an average human. And potentially even aliens. If you were to look at the outdated box design, the budget price, the ubiquitous availability and the results it gives, it would be easy to conclude that Fujicolor C200 – or Fujicolor 200 as it’s known in some markets – is nothing special. But what does all this have to do with me shooting Fuji C200 on vacation? To make a long story short, I was once one of those new and less moneyed shooters. Consumer film was all I shot for years. Even though by many standards those films weren’t technically impressive, they gave me the opportunity to practice and appreciate the craft. And more often than not, those films would give me images that would inspire me to keep film alive in my own way. By choosing C200, I wanted to see if consumer films could still do that for me, even as an experienced shooter. What I ended up finding was a lot more valuable. I wasn’t so sure. Conventional wisdom would dictate that I leave the C200 at home for casual shooting and trust the bigger names for the truly important moments.

C200, which is DX-coded with the number 106254, is processed using the highly common C-41 technique, or CN-16 as Fujifilm call it, meaning any photo lab should be able to develop your rolls once you’ve shot them. At your local pharmacy, in most multimedia or camera shops, and even in supermarkets between the dairy and shampoo aisle, you might come across Fuji C200. A cheap price, fine grain, and quite saturated colors make this film a versatile and widely available option for everyday film photographers. The film also has a wide exposure latitude, which means you’ll have to try hard to really under or overexpose it. 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. UPDATE: The film’s datasheet bears a striking resemblance to that of a Kodak colour negative film’s – read Kosmo Foto’s story.Of course that means it’s not as versatile as the Industrial 400, but that doesn’t matter too much for me. If I know I’m shooting an ISO 200 film, I won’t go out and do it in bad light anyway. A few of the more boutique films I’ve reviewed on here are synonymous with specific types of photography; either by design or by how the herd has taken to shooting them.
