When you shoot Fujifilm Superia, make sure to overexpose it. Overexposing helps to minimize the green tint.
unless you like the green tint (like me) i like pushing the shadows on purpose to get those green tints in the shadows
Unless you want the green tint of course.
Yes i am going to shoot 200. Like the pastel as well.
Hey bro, you lost a ton of weight man, hope it was because of healthy terms, happy christmas.
i just bought these more often recently at my local CVS to save money and I am thrilled with how great they look on my recent shoots, despite portra 800 and 400 being my fav film, fuji superia 400 3 rolls for 18 bucks is a great deal
Shh...Now the secret’s out haha. Love this stock!
6 bucks?! That's just about 4.5 quid... Oh I wish any film in the UK was available for that kind of money. You can get Superia for around 8 quid if you try. Portra will set you back a tenner. The only way to shoot film on a moderate budget in Europe is to go black and white, Ilford HP5+ all the way baby!
Even worse in Switzerland 🤦🏻♂️.
What about Kodak gold 200? In Germany you can get 3 rolls for ~8€
@@simkarte123 yeah I bought them, 3 Rolls 23.- chf !
@@simkarte123 wtf thats amazing
Dope video. I just got my hands on some Fuji Superia "Premium" 400...cant wait to shoot with it. MINOLTA GANG BABY!
Superia 400 is a lovely film. When shooting with vintage Takamar glass it is outright gorgeous.
I was in Mexico City in January. I bought 2 boxes of Pro Image for $18 each. I don't like it that much, but the price was really good. Like, really good. C200 was my favorite, but it has been out of stock for a very long time. I've been shooting Superia this past summer, but not a whole lot of film shooting for me this year.
Starts @1:08
Do you just overexpose or pull in dev also?
I got into film photography during quarantine and have been shooting this ever since! I've consistently gotten good results, and any time I've had a bad image its from operator error. 😆 Like you said, you can't beat the price and if you're just getting into film, its great to experiment with. Great video! 🤙🏻
Hey i just shot my first roll of Fuji and i did what you said i shot it at 200 iso to overexpose. Do i tell the lab that i shot it at 200 iso instead of 400?
I shoot on Fuji Superia 400 all day!! Superia gang 🤟😩🤟
As a professional barista I was going to say something about the coffee... But honestly to each their own :D
Superia used to be super cheap in eastern Europe some years ago, I mean literally you could buy a tri-pack of the 24 frame one for $4.
Not anymore though. In UK it's almost as expensive as the "good stuff".
The plastic tamp made me gag :p
Can we please get a video on Kodak UltraMAX 400
UltraMax over superia everyday every time!
I’ve been getting into ultramax recently. I’ll have to go back and give this another try.
same, got some ultramax recently and just received the first developed roll and i really like it!
I was just doing my research on this film stock during the weekend. Like you’ve read my mind! Thanks for the video 🙏🏻
My man you need a grinder to grind your coffee fresh! love your work, keep it up.
The moment I saw it in the opening I knew this would be commented on! 100% agree!
that espresso made my heart die a little lol been loving all your videos my guy. making me want to grab a X700 or a XD11. Been shooting a mirrorless and completely skipped over everything else.
Is there a difference between the Superia Premium 400 and Superia X-tra Premium 400?
Thanks for reminding me of Fuji Superia. For me, Fuji has become the brand for positive film. I think you should not use the Kodak Portra films for comparison. Portra is the cousin of Fuji Pro 400H. Gold is the cousin of Superia. Superia is widely available in Europe, but more expensive than Kodak. Something to counter your criticism of the green cast, it's easy to correct if y
Im glad someone likes it, ive only shot a handfull of rolls of superia but ive hated every one. I think gold 200 is a better film in every way, and its only 50 cents more a roll.
Great video regardless!
The fact that it's now almost 30 dollars at your local CVS/Walmart is INSANE
I was crying when he said $6. It’s a bittersweet feeling getting into film photography, on one hand I love the feel and look and on the the hand it’s too pricy
Question😅 if you shoot it at 200. Do you develop it as is? Or do you push it +1?:)
Have you find an answer mate?
Hi, a shame no one else has answered your question yet.
If you shoot a 400 film at 200, then you're overexposing it, and therefore traditionally, you should write -1 (pulling) on your film when getting it developed.
I made "The mistake" of shooting it at 200 and develop it normally... results were great!
@@915mario1986 thanks! So just overexpose and develop normally?
Hmm. Do you shoot 200 ISO and develop for 200 iso or develop at box speed?
Surreal watching this and hearing “and Portra 400 is really expensive, like 13 or 14 dollars per roll”. Currently 25-30 per roll online, I’d kill for those old rates 😅
I like the photo of the poop emoji on the ice-cream cone 💩 6:32
Please compare fuji superior 400 vs kodak ultramax 400. I'm considering between 2 of them
Liked at 0.53 just because of the coffee! As an Italian it is impossible not to appreciate your wise choice of espresso :)
I love Kodak Gold but its getting more expensive and hard to find
Fuji C200 is also fantastic to me, at 4 bucks a roll I cannot complain
Great video. I shoot alot more black and white right now but Superia has a special place in my heart because it is the film stock I basically cut my teeth on because of the great price and availability.
Cut to 2022 and it’s 36 bucks for a 3 pack on Amazon and portra is 27 a roll
I like this film, i shoot this film for my graduation moment. And the color was really good, very vivid color.
I've noticed theres SUPERIA 400 & also SUPERIA XTRA.... what's the difference? Great timing for this video! Just picked up my first film camera in almost 2 decades!!
I would like to know as well
Correct me if I’m wrong, but they’re the same. I think it’s just easier to say “superia 400” rather than “superia 400 xtra”. The link he provided to buy the film stock says “xtra 400” on the canisters.
I've noticed on different sites selling film, both kinds being sold... none say what the "xtra" part means.
Hey Jonathan, you have used the ice-cream shot, and some other shots as exemplification for Agfa Vista film
My Fuji C200 > Kodak Color Plus 200 > Fuji Superia 400 > Kodak Gold 200
I was just watching this video as I am looking for a film stock to start with and I love the look of grunge photography with those green and muddy-ish tones so should I still over expose it or should I shoot it at 400 when shooting street photography?
$29 for 3pk yesterday here in Florida.
$40 in Bumfuck Pennsylvania lol
hmmmm I dont think ive seen any supermarket or anything sell film in YEARS, at least here in the UK, for all film you have to get it online or at a camera store it seems.
Where I live Kodak gold 200 is the only affordable film, at my local drug store / pharmacy it’s 10€ so around 12$ or so for 3 rolls
Your videos are very helpful and really got me into film photography! TYSM
I shot a roll of Superia 400 at 200 ISO. I'm going to get it developed shortly but do i have to let the developers know that I've done that as per your method in this video?
I prefer Ultramax 400 for the warmer look. However, I just got a smoking deal on 10 rolls of 400H, 10 of Fuji c200 and 30 rolls of supereria 400 from a friend who went 100% digital. It cost me nothing, I built him a nice photo editing PC at cost. He has a nice Canon Elan 7 and a couple l lenses but I told him to hold on to them because he may change his mind. He bought the Canon mirrorless which he loves.
I like the cheep Ultramax better too. Don't know why as for premium 400 I prefer 400H 8)
Unless you have pale, Scandinavian skin tones. Then it's lobster face all around😆
also worth keeping in mind that with almost every film you can do quite a bit of color correcting in photoshop to adjust to your own taste (e.g. fixing the green tint)
What's the point of doing film then ?
@@remycarron441 you are joking right? A professional scanner like the Noritsu HS-1800 or a Frontier SP3000 allows you to color correct. Even if you don’t want to adjust the default scan, those scanners initially auto correct the density and color for you. 🤦♂️
@@remycarron441 When I studied photography back in the 90s we would colour correct our prints on the enlarger pretty much the same way you would do it in photoshop.
@@remycarron441 Even analog printing involves color correction and editing. Look up how an enlarger works and you will see they have filter packs for color correction.
This is my go-to film before the price hike of films this Q1 of 2020.
Back in the day, Fujifilm was a bit cheaper than Kodak on average, so I shot more of that back in the day
I wonder if Fuji's color negative stocks just are light-hungry in general; heard Pro 400H benefits from overexposure as well
Big question is - when ya shoot it at 200, do you pull-process it at all or just go with standard c41?
When you overexpose, if you leave the shutter speed at 400, can you use the aperture to overexpose? Thanks in advance. Love the videos I’m just starting out
Here in Canada the 3-pack is $35. plus tax
Green tint? There is none. Superia 400 is in fact notable for its quite good gray balance. Of particular importance, there is no color shifts from shadow to highlights.
A pronounced green tint is most likely a bad scanning profile. These days, likely culprits are also exhausted development chemicals and labs that just don’t give a shit.
The best thing to do is to shoot a gray card or macbeth color chart (better) for the first exposure. Adjust gray balance to this in your post.
One thing you’ll notice on the macbeth frame is that color tint doesn’t shift on the gray scale gradation row. This means easy compensation in post.
payat mo na bro :) great content once again! inspirasyon ka ng marami! mabuhay ka
Not a big fan of this stock, with the green tones and colder colors. But i guess it just comes down to what i like and dont, but would like to try your tip to overexposing it a stop, looked kinda cool. But anyways i like Kodak films more, the warmer colors just look so good!
What happened to all of these consumer films? I cannot find any true, fresh Kodak (200/400) or Fuji (200/400) consumer film online anywhere! I did see some Fuji 400 36exp 3 packs at WalMart for $18.99 -- but it used to be cheaper online....
given the green tint issue i'd just go kodak ULTRAMAX 400, good alternative
Just went through a 3pk. Love the results
I just bought 5 rolls of this film expired in 2004 for 20 bucks , did I do the right thing?
But the Japanese version is not available anymore,in Japan we have to buy overseas version from other countries, come on, Fuji...
Great video! If i shoot this film stock at 200, do you have to have it pushed or pulled in developing?
Went in shop today max spielman... a handful of weeks ago bought kodak Ultramax 400 it was £11 GBP.... today they wanted £20....finding cheap filmstock here (UK) just a nightmare....
4:20 that segway lmao
This runs for about $8.50 where I'm from. Not alot but the shipping ads up since we can't get them in physical stores :/ Gonna give this a try though!
Shot my first 10 rolls with this. I feel like I metered too low bc most of my images come out a little too moody. I metered as suggested from my light meter app. Gonna take up that one stop overexposure tip. 😍
What does that mean just changing the iso from 400 to 200 ?
@@isaiah2387 thats what I was wondering too!! i thought overexposing it by one stop meant only changing the aperture :0
I’m new to shooting film and just got this film stock. Shooting on the canon t50, what does it mean to overexpose it by one stop? Bring ISO down?
superia or ultramax 400 for night time photography?
What's the model of the coffee machine? I'm looking to my office. I'd appreciate the tip😌
Hey I’m a couple days late so hopefully you see this, I wanna get a camera but I’m debating between the Minolta x-700 and the Canon A1 which do you recommend?
Kodak Gold is the real best cheap film stock😜
like some of the "pressure" felt for using x brand.
I kinda feel the same way when using X film - that people will judge just because its not the "BEST" film .
I think its just that its harder to describe who each film do for the viewer to make their own decision in their creative journey instead of just being told which is "best"
Good film opinions, might take it easy with the coffee intro lol.
If I pulled it to 200 iso, do I still need to tell the film developer that I have pulled it? Nice vid!
this is the first film stock I ever shot 👍
Ultramax 400 for me broski. Fuji negative films are way too much of that Japanese green for me. I like that warm, punchy, balanced saturation like Zeiss lenses. Ektar is too red, Portra is too washed out, and Velvia 50 is perfection but that slide speed and latitude is horrendous. Anyways, thanks for being a legend. :)
wish Colorplus was still 3 bucks, but this at 4 dollars is still a steal, I bought a bunch, hopefully the prices don't increase haha
Great review, try PanF (especially 120) love that fine grain like no other
My local shops like CVS and Walmart sell that pack for damn near $25
Hi I’m new to film how many pictures can you take with it???
Everything is wrong in that coffee intro.
Unfortunately impossible to find lately. And considering C200 came back at double the price I'm afraid with Superia it might be the same. Let's hope not.
i pushed a roll of superia one stop to dull down the green tints in the shadows, should i develop it at boxspeed or at 800?
If you shot it at 800 I’m sorry to say, you probably underexposed it and caused more green tint. You went the wrong way, bud!
oh i’m a lil confused :0 in order to overexpose it a stop, i should change the iso from 400 to 200? if so, does that mean i’ll have to change the shutter speed along with it (since iso and shutter go hand in hand)?
Yeah. But rating it at 200 instead of 400, you overexpose by a stop. For instance, if your metered for 400 and it says to shoot at 1/125th, shoot at 1/60th instead!
I payed $40 crazy 🤦♂️
Same bro! I think it's better to order online...
Imma use that as a line on a cute girl next time im in a coffee shop and say it like Joey Tribiani "Heyyy how youuu brewwwin?"
Here you can't really get your hands on Fuji film in drugstores. They only have AGFA 400 and Ultramax 400 in stock (and maybe some Ektar).
You should do a review on Kodak gold 200
Can you do some videos on lomo stocks?
Cheap? In Italy you're lucky if you find this stock for around 9/10€ (12$) per roll!!😢
Got my first 2 rolls of Eastman Double X back from the lab recently. I'm in love.
Oh my, 41$ for 3 rolls on Amazon.
I guess Portra is cheaper for me.
Is cheaper at walmart for 3 it was $18 or $20
So if I want to over expose by one stop, how do you do that? In metered mode? +1 on the EV dial? Or will setting the film speed to 200 accomplish that? I though from a previous video setting the speed incorrectly was pushing film?
Set the speed on your camera to 200
@@comfortableovertones no have them develop at regular box speed
like the heads up about this film , but I still like Kodak tri-x 400 B&W
I thought I would hate black and white but after shooting it, it became my favorite film up to this point.
Hello! I'm a beginner in film photography and just developed my first roll of film (Fuji Superia 400) and shot on the Canon AE-1. However, there seems to be this red glare/flare in a lot of the photos. I googled it and people were saying it was a light leak. Any tips on how to fix this? Love the vids btw, it really helped to get me started on film!
What camera are you using? There are a lot of possible places light can be leaking from.
considering this comment is 11 months old you probably already fixed it but I'll answer anyway. generally light leaks are caused by a bad light seal on the film door. this is even more likely considering the ae-1 is a fairly old camera. you can fix this with a cheap light seal kit or just with electrical tape by covering the gaps in the main body and film door.
just got my first film camera and it’s a Minolta #minoltagang 🤙
I just got my first SLR, a Minolta SRT10. #minoltagang for sure

I found 3 rolls in my basement and now I’m buying a camera not even a week later😐
Cool intro 🤙🏼
