Love these film exposés as I'm returning to film after a long absence. Your discussions about specific films are great as I don't have anyone to ask about film anymore.
Thank you! Hopefully, more film buffs will be available in the future. I think that next up in this series will be Rollei Retro 80S followed by Kodak Tri-X 400. The Ektar video is coming along quickly, too.
I've shot Natura 1600 before and enjoyed it. Your video got me interested in stocking up since Fujifilm has a habit of discontinuing stocks that aren't popular. Went on eBay as you described and found a high-rated seller in Japan offering 9 rolls (exp. 3/2018) for $85 with free shipping. Fingers crossed. Thanks!
Good deal! Good news on the Fuji stock front. Last week there was a report that Acros 4X5 was discontinued, but I talked to a vendor today who said Fuji told them that was an error. I hope that Fuji will focus on keeping their current stocks alive and expanding into some new stocks at some point.
I’ve only heard of it today, I saw another video which said that Fuji are stopping making it. Then I saw your video in the recommendations and I’m not going to pass one of your videos up. Of course you didn’t let me down, as it is great video as always David.
Thank you! And yeah, Fuji stopped making this a bit more than a year ago, I think. Whatever is left now is just new old stock. I think the discontinuation announcement hit days or maybe a few weeks after this video went live.
Nice video! I agree it would be such a great 120 film. It was definitely one of my favorite films. I miss it, but won’t pay $50-60 a roll. The colors were amazing and with the fast speed, could shoot in some fairly dark areas. It became my favorite Street Photography film when the shadows of the downtown buildings/skyscrapers darkened the streets. Fuji has turned their backs on so many great films. I can only hope they will someday decide to bring it back... and in 120.
120 and 4x5 - Ha!, its probably already been discontinued and fuji haven't told us yet. After obsoleting my pack film cameras fuji is not exactly my best friend right now. Another nice "All about film" video though, thanks.
Thank you! Last I heard (early this year), Natura is still in production with no planned product line expansion but also no discontinuation plans. So my hope is that continues to be the case.
I'm glad someone is promoting Fuji film... Fuji themselves seem to be pretending they don't make film anymore. The last two photography shows I went to had huge Fuji stands with the name "FujiFILM" all over the place - and not a single roll of film anywhere to be seen :(
I hope that the film makers put a bit of money into their film marketing. I'm sure that the profits are minimal and, yes, it does seem like they're not promoting film at all. Finding the data sheet for this film was HARD. Fuji wouldn't respond at all to my questions and when I finally found someone there who would they just said 'they don't make that information public.' It does make it hard to really make the most out of the product. And they have some great products, too, that they should be proud of.
Unless something great happened recently, they discontinued polaroid peel apart film. Honestly they no longer have anything that that I would care for. Looking forward to Film Ferrania. Hopefully they pull it off and we have all sorts of good stuff to replace what kodak and fuji have discontinued....
@13:48 you mention filters. Is there a reason for to avoid filters on this particular film (other than the general drawbacks of filters)? The filter I have in mind is an 81b which I think works quite well with Fuji C200, Superia 400 & 800.
Part of my aversion to filters is philosophical. I see filters as a way to alter performance or compensate for a quality lacking in a film. For this film, there's no much a filter can add. Also, being a color film, most filters will have a deleterious effect on the film. I shot one roll, specifically, in various kinds of natural light and artificial light (including fluorescent and incandescent) and the film didn't take on an artificial light cast. So I don't see color correction filters as having a ton of beneficial use. On other fast films, like Porta 800, artificial lighting does create a noticeable color cast and in those cases a color correction filter would work well.
those are some badass shots! For the night time setting, what do you recommend shutter speed an aperture to be? I got a Canon AE-1 wih the 50mm F1.8 I was going to use tonight. Do you recommend shooting it at 1600 iso?
Thank you! For star trails, where your camera is stationary and the stars move through the sky leaving trails, the limiting factor is foreground illumination. Fortunately, this stock is pretty tolerant of overexposure, so as long as you don't have any lights in the foreground, from 35 minutes to a few hours or longer is A-Okay.
Interestingly, B&H now stocks a Superia 1600. Fujifilm US does not list this film, however I was able to find its datasheet on Fujifilm global, and the performance envelope looks just like Natura 1600.
That's great to hear. I probably need to do an ISO test with color films in the future and use a roll to shoot off a series of identical frames at various ISOs just to see how they perform.
at 13:18 you say that (other) colour films benefit from being shot faster than box speed and developed normally. So you mean it would be good to shoot my 200 box iso colour film at 400 and develop it as a 200 for example?
I may have said that in reverse. Underexposing (shooting 200 as 400) is not advised. Overexposing is fine for modern color films. So you can shoot 400 at 200 without issue.
Velvia 50 is in the works. It's a while away yet, though. I love it. My results with Provia have not been good. So I'm not sure what went wrong, but both of the rolls I've taken were way overexposed.
@@DavidHancock ah very cool thank you. absolutely love the last few models of pro film slrs. there’s a reason that form factor has been around for so long!
On the European market Fuji sells Superia 1600, probably the same film as Natura brand is only available in Asia. Have you tried to push 120 Fuji PRO 400H to 1600?
Lookins at the spectral sensitivity for Superia and dye density curve, it certainly looks like the same film. Interesting. I also thought that Superia was out of production. I haven't used 400H yet. Does it push well?
I'm hoping that this video series will start going more quickly since I'm building a stockpile of photos for the future videos. The color 400 I'm working on right now is the Lomo 400. I can do 400H after that. I really like Fuji's professional reversal films, so I expect I'd really like their professional negative films.
They say this and super 1600 is exactly the same, the only difference is branding for the US. With that said I've shot a roll of superia 1600 but never got as much grain as you did in your examples. Just ordered two rolls of natura to really compare. I really embrace grain so Im sure I won't be disappointed.
Superia is Natura, yes. I didn't learn that until after the video went live, but comparing the data sheets, the Superia data are exactly the same. I have used Superia, since filming this video, and the results have been even grainier than Natura.
The characteristic curve and dye sensitivity are the same, so it may be. I picked up my first roll of Superia yesterday and haven't tried it yet. I didn't even know that Superia 1600 was still being sold until a few weeks after this video went live. Most places I shop, including websites, don't list it.
+David Hancock Ok. Thanks for your fast answer and also for your nice videos. I like it that you show so many sample images. Before I watched this video I did not know that Natura exists! :-)
How's the white balance when you use this indoor? I was thinking of using this over cinestill low light street photography or basic indoor events. thanks
It's easy to fix in post. This is more susceptible to fluorescent green-shift than incandescent orange-shift. But Natura/Superia is out of production now so if you want to use it you'll need to grab it soon.
Check the expiration date before you buy it. Fast film like this will start to lose quality very quickly after the expiration date, especially if it's been kept on shelves and not in a refrigerator. If it is within code, you're good to go. If it's past code, I might not expect as much from it as it could have delivered when fresh.
Do you have any good recommendations for shooting indoors with this film? Any specific settings on the camera so it doesn't get too dark? Thank you for this video! :)
Probably pull it a stop to 800. All the Natura out there will be expired now as it exited production some years ago, and that will cause it to be less light-sensitive than it would have been. Faster films lose sensitivity faster than slower films, too, so old Natura will perform way worse than it would have new. A better option for indoor use now, and certainly cheaper than the prices I've seen for Natura in the last year, would be Portra 800.
Thank you! I'm not sure when my first Kodak film AAF will be. My next color film video looks like it will be Lomo 800. I have 103 photos with it right now and I like to have 120 before going to production.
That's a motion picture stock. I'm not an expert in those. www.fujifilm.com/products/motion_picture/lineup/fcp_type3510/ It will, respooled onto cassettes, work in a 35mm camera, but not all labs have the chemistry required to process motion picture stock. The image quality will probably be interesting, looking at the spectral sensitivity chart for the dye layers.
Hey David! I know I'm late to the party, but I got a few rolls of Natura and was curious as to how you got those awesome shots of the stars?? Just long exposure? And if so, how long?! Haha
Hey, Jake, so the star shots that show the Milky Way in detail were done with an iOptron star tracker. The exposures were from 20 to 45 minutes with a 135mm lens. The star trails hots were stationary long exposures from 45 minutes to 3 hours, maybe more.
David Hancock thank you! Only been shooting film for a few months now and I've been watching your channel for a while. I shoot with a pentax mx (thrift store find) and your video on the camera helped me on day 1! Appreciate you, stay righteous!
Wow, that's a bit of an obscure stock to me. I've heard about it but never seen the beast in the wild (here in Finland) :) David, do you have any plans if the future to cover Delta100? It is currently my favourite film and it totally blows my mind. PanF+ as well - unvelievable film.
Natura is pretty hard to come by. For Delta 100 and PanF, both are in process. I have around 85 or 90 photos taken with each and six developer-ISO combinations with Delta and seven developer-ISO combinations with PanF. I have some pushing and pulling to do with each (Delta 100 at 400 is really great, if you haven't tried it) but those videos are about 40% through their photo collection phase. Once I have enough photos, the videos come together pretty quickly.
David Hancock cool, i myself only work with three developers: DD-X, Perceptol and Rodinal, and thinking i'm gonna try Microphen soon. Delta 100 in Perceptol stock in medium format is insane - best photographs i've even taken. Just yesterday shot Delta 100 rated 200 and very happy with it, but didn't experiment with pushing this film so much as i perfer to pull/push HP5+, where i get good results form 200 to 3200 and some acceptable results at 6400. I'm gonna push Delta100 two stops for sure anyway, tried pushing Delta400 two stops and that didn't work too well. Looking forward to your next videos for b&w films!
Thank you for the Perceptol tip. I just ordered more developer tonight (learning the hard way that my Rodinal was spent) but will add Perceptol to my next order and pick up some more Delta then, too.
+David Hancock yeah try it out, but I'd recommend stock for medium format only, and perhaps 1+3 dilution for 35mm, for smaller format it reduces sharpness a bit because of some of Perceptol's qualities.
I just checked and it looks like she's out of stock right now. However, I can share the eBay search results link with filtered and sorted results. This should filter out everything but film and sort by low price to high. Today, 9 rolls for $85 looks like the best bargain but there's also people selling 12- and 15-roll bundles at a nice price for bulk purchases. www.ebay.com/sch/Film/4201/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=fuji+natura&_sop=15
Hello David, thank you for interesting video about Natura 1600. Unfortunately it's not available where I live, however when I compared spectral density curves, mtf curves and spectral dye density curves of Fuji Superia X-TRA 1600 it seems the same film. The same for reciprocity failure correction, so I think that nowadays they're the same emulsions that sells under different names in different parts of the world. Here's link to the Superia X-TRA 1600 datasheet: www.fujifilm.com/products/consumer_film/pdf/superia_1600_datasheet.pdf
Back in 1991 or 1992, I came across a roll of Kodak Gold 1600. It did exist. I gather it now does not. I wasn't impressed, even at my amateur level; this stuff looks far, far better. Far more superior and widely available was Kodak Royal Gold (probably Ektar in the States) 1000. Lomography, where are you? We badly need a competing thousand-plus colour film, and you're the ones to bring it to market!
I'm not sure when Kodak Gold 1600 was discontinued, but it's been gone for a while. For the Lomo films, I'm not sure if they're rebadging Kodak or Fuji films (I think Kodak) but I believe that they're beholden to the other makers for stock and aren't producing their own. I'm working on the first of the Lomo film AAF videos and will, I hope, have an answer on their sourcing before it goes live.
Next up is probably Rollei Retro 80S since it's about 85% complete. Kodak 400Tri-X should be after that (about 75% complete). I'm also working on the Kodak Ektar video (45%) and the Portra 160 (20%) and TMax 100 (20%) videos. In amongst the Kodak videos will be Delta 3200, Delta 100, PanF 50, and maybe one of the Lomo films.
Love these film exposés as I'm returning to film after a long absence. Your discussions about specific films are great as I don't have anyone to ask about film anymore.

ordered a 3 rolls from ebay 35 dollars, should be some low light color fun, thanks for the heads up, didn't have it on B and H
Nice! Amazon and eBay seem to the only sources in the U.S. for three-roll packs. $35 is a great price for three rolls.
I regularly shoot this film. I shoot it at 50 ISO on the beach. No issues. Usable from 50-1600 ISO
That's great to hear. I probably need to do an ISO test with color films in the future and use a roll to shoot off a series of identical frames at various ISOs just to see how they perform.
thank you David for one more excellent video.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Nico!
16:14 how much aperture is that...??
and how long??
Probably f/2.5 since that was a 135mm lens I used and I think it was a 25-minute exposure.

That's a motion picture stock. I'm not an expert in those. www.fujifilm.com/products/motion_picture/lineup/fcp_type3510/

That is the only way to do it.
Hey David! I know I'm late to the party, but I got a few rolls of Natura and was curious as to how you got those awesome shots of the stars?? Just long exposure? And if so, how long?! Haha

Hello David, thank you for interesting video about Natura 1600. Unfortunately it's not available where I live, however when I compared spectral density curves, mtf curves and spectral dye density curves of Fuji Superia X-TRA 1600 it seems the same film. The same for reciprocity failure correction, so I think that nowadays they're the same emulsions that sells under different names in different parts of the world.
Here's link to the Superia X-TRA 1600 datasheet: www.fujifilm.com/products/consumer_film/pdf/superia_1600_datasheet.pdf
I think you're correct, yes. When I made this, I didn't realize that Superia was available in a speed faster than 400.
Back in 1991 or 1992, I came across a roll of Kodak Gold 1600. It did exist. I gather it now does not. I wasn't impressed, even at my amateur level; this stuff looks far, far better. Far more superior and widely available was Kodak Royal Gold (probably Ektar in the States) 1000.
Lomography, where are you? We badly need a competing thousand-plus colour film, and you're the ones to bring it to market!
I'm not sure when Kodak Gold 1600 was discontinued, but it's been gone for a while.
For the Lomo films, I'm not sure if they're rebadging Kodak or Fuji films (I think Kodak) but I believe that they're beholden to the other makers for stock and aren't producing their own. I'm working on the first of the Lomo film AAF videos and will, I hope, have an answer on their sourcing before it goes live.
Is 30s long enough for photographing the Milky Way?
On a clear night with good seeing, probably yes for the most part.
The shot at 3:30 is so lovely! Would you send me a jpeg to my email or so?

So sad it's been discontinued...it's my favourite colour film :/
I know. It was a unique offering and my favorite Fuji C-41 stock.
i always skip natura everytime i see it here in japan. might give it a try.
It's definitely worth trying a roll.
Nice
Thank you!
didnt even know about this film
It's obscure, but definitely worth trying.
David, you would make a great Dad. Start having some kids, now!
LOL. My wife has some say in that, too.
MEDIUM FORMAT. MEDIUM FORMAT. MEDIUM FORMAT...
MEDIUM FORMAT.
I wish. Unfortunately, they completely discontinued this film.
Shame that this has been discontinued 😢
I concur.
Review A Kodak Film Next,I Feel like Kodak Is Doesn't Get Enough Attention Anymore.
Next up is probably Rollei Retro 80S since it's about 85% complete. Kodak 400Tri-X should be after that (about 75% complete). I'm also working on the Kodak Ektar video (45%) and the Portra 160 (20%) and TMax 100 (20%) videos. In amongst the Kodak videos will be Delta 3200, Delta 100, PanF 50, and maybe one of the Lomo films.
+David Hancock Great!Can't Wait To Hear About Ektar And Portra,I Only Shoot Kodak So It Really Helps If I Know The Most I Can About Their Films.
The rollei is an excellent stock - It has a learning curve though but once you get used to it you can get great results!
Jake Mongey Absolutely yes. It needs more careful exposure and development than most films.
ITS DISCONTINUED :'(
Yup. It went out of production shortly after I released the video.
:'(
Yeah, it was a fun film.
@@DavidHancock I saw talk about pushing Cinestill 400D I might try that.
