Wow! I really enjoyed this video! I just subscribed yesterday after watching your fujifilm 400 video! The quality of your videos and photo compositions deserve more recognition! I’m glad to have found your channel as I recently got my first film camera. Your videos have made me even more excited to shoot. Wishing you and your channel wellness and growth!
Superia X-Tra 400 hasn’t had a fourth color layer for a while now. It’s been the same emulsion as Superia Premium 400 for at least the last eight years, probably much longer. It still performs incredibly well in tungsten light because they found a way to sensitize the film so it could handle artificial lighting without the fourth layer when they made Superia Premium 400. That’s probably why it replaced the four layer X-Tra internationally. It was cheaper and easier to make and still performed well in non daylight conditions.
How do you meter for light? Do you use a phone app or an external light meter? And then do you just do the average or use spot meter? All of your photos look great!
Thank you so much! As far as metering goes, it's a mix on sunny 16 during the day if I'm outside as well as using a handheld meter for indoor scenes/trickier outdoor lighting scenarios. I have used apps in the past and they work great.

Hmmmm that’s good to know. And yeah I agree, the film does a pretty good job under tungsten lighting
Love the water damage. Did you use your camera underwater?
Nope not at all. I think accumulated moisture from being taken out the fridge

Would love your opinion on Superia Premium 400 as it is still available
Oh I haven’t heard of that film stock. I’ll do a bit of research and see if I can pick one up. Thank you for the suggestion!
@@michaelbennettphoto Awesome! Not easy to get outside of Japan I’m pretty sure, but definitely possible.
@@michaelbennettphoto It's the same film stock just rebranded for Japanese market. No difference.
Did you set iso to box speed?
Or 200?
I’m fairly certain all of these were shot at ISO 200
It’s discontinued? I didn’t know that. Still in many stores in Japan. Probably just in Japan?
From what I read, there’s still stock left, but no more film is being produced. Once the stock is sold, there won’t be Superia sold.
