Fujifilm 写ルンです ('utsurun desu', literally 'It takes photos' in Japanese) disposable cameras are still very popular in Japan, and I've been getting through one a week since I got here. This is from a normal Superia 400 variety, but we also have the 'Hi-Speed' action version (with 1600ISO film, 1/200s shutter and f14 lens) and the 30th anniversary special editions, which come with cute cases and straps. I've even seen reusable disposable camera cases shaped like old Contax rangefinders in the camera stores - I know going on about Japanese 'camera culture' is a cliche, but I really do find myself smiling a lot here.
(Still using my rubbish $50 film scanner, got a flatbed on order from Amazon)

Jellybean Row definitely seems like the right place for slide film.
Yeah it was a real colourful area and a nice sunny day. Provia 400x seemed to get the colours right, unfortunately I only have 1 roll left in 135. (Have a reasonable supply of 120 left)

Will switch to Provia 100F in the future, so far what I've tried seems pretty good.

Thanks, Phil.

Nice but when I saw this scene, I thought immediately Kodacolor 400!

I wish so very much that Fuji would bring back production of that wonderful stuff. Still saddens me.

Was just culling through one of the most recent roll of 135 400x - been over a year now. I'm out. Don't think I can afford to buy more - it's gotten silly expensive.

Here's one from the late spring taken on Ilford HP5+ with the Z-70 and Hoya 135 f/2.8 lens. Only managed to get the roll developed in August! That guy in the middle was giving it all his might.

Thanks I haven't tried that film, I have shot colour slide film about 90% of the time over the years. Kodachrome 64 still being my favourite.

Yep nice to have a good 400 ISO slide film in production. Hopefully Ferrania will have one sometime in the near future, if they ever get their plant online.

Indeed - honestly I only read every third update from them nowadays. I haven't lost hope but I find it best if I don't pay much attention.

Here is another scan with my K5 and 35mm lens.

We had to take several attempt runs to get up the road to this isolated resort with only two wheel drive.

Some more Fuji Natura from the same roll. This was shot at box speed, and I'm going to try exposing the second roll at around 1000 and see how it looks.





Canon AE-1.
Unknown lenses.
(Probably a 28mm of some sort in the first, but no idea which one. The second is probably a B&H/Canon FD 50mm f1.4 S.S.C.)
Fujicolor Natura 1600.

This really shines as a night film.

1 roll...135... That's a bummer...

and

reasonable supply in 120...

you lucky man...

135 goes for 18euros/roll nowadays in my online shop, if you can get your hands on it. That's too much for my wallet. There are still some kids to feed :-)
