I'm looking for a film to run through my Fujica ST605 35mm. I'd like a film with lovely vibrant colours, but not too much of a hefty price tag on it. Any suggestions?
 
As a general purpose film Fuji superia 200asa is excellent.......could bore you with a 100 pics if you want to show how good it is.

100 may be overkill, but I wouldn't mind seeing one or two if you have time? Thanks for the quick reply too :)
 
I take it where I get the rolls processed will make a difference?
 
It shouldn't do as c41 is a standardised process, however if the chems are old or the lab poorly run it will. There's no need to go mad on a test roll, supermarket will be fine.
 
Just ordered 3 rolls of 36exp 200 Superior. Would have ordered more, but I've not used the Fuji in a while, so not sure on seals and shutter. All look ok, but I don't fancy buying a load of film for a knackered camera!

Thanks for the replies guys, I hope to be in this section a fair bit more, trying to get back into using my film camera as well as my digi!

If you like vibrant colours, have a go with Kodak's new film Ektar 100.

Very nice panoramics, and shows you dont need to buy the expensive films if you find what you want for cheap :thumbs:

tbh if you are scanning I've found little difference between cheaper and more expensive colour films.

erm "if you are scanning"? Well I suppose there are still places that do it the old way.

Scanning using a flatbed scanner I mean if that wasn't clear.

Apart from grain, I've never been able to distinguist B/W films either.

Well I was given 10 rolls of Jessops colour film and will have to check out your experience. re no difference in colour etc on a flatbed scanner...but in going over all my old colour negs from the past, there is a difference in that some negs are unscannable i.e. just can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, even though the neg was correctly exposed.

Yeah I've had that unable to scan problem. the scanner also adds a lot of grain.

I'm not saying there is no difference in colour but its seems to be neutralised anyways.
