This review is based on two rolls of C200 - shot and developed. First was shot on a Pentax MZ-5 where I used the camera to do the light metering. About 50% was shot at ISO200 and the other 50% were shot at ISO100. The other roll was shot on Leica M3 with me being the light meter. I did use a light meter from the phone from time to time as well.

This is a consumer film rather than professional film. It’s meant to perform acceptably after having sat on a store shelf for who knows how long. I’ve shot rolls of this stuff that I left at room temperature for years and got good results. Fujifilm works with a pool of valued partners around the world as part of the production process to ensure we can continue to deliver high-quality imaging products to delight customers. But enough with the history, how does the film perform? For such a cheap film, it shoots really well. Professional-quality, medium-speed, daylight-type, color reversal film with ultrafine grain (RMS *2 : 8) and ultrahigh color saturation through the incorporation of new-generation cyan, magenta and yellow couplers.Suited especially to scenery and nature photography as well as other subjects that require precisely modulated vibrant color reproduction and high image quality.Provides color image stability equal to that of RVP 100F and can be push-processed up to +1 stop with excellent results and little photographic variation.

Specification

Fujifilm 200 is a 200-speed colour film, forgiving with highlights and known for providing reliable results across different lighting situations. Finely detailed image formation for large-size enlargements and other work requiring high-magnification as a result of the finest grain among ISO 100 color reversal films.

Color image storage permanence (anti-fading characteristics) equal to that of RVP 100F as a result of new couplers. Now that I’ve heaped praise onto this inexpensive color film, I’m going to tell you that I prefer this film’s slightly slower brother, Fujicolor 100! (I’ve reviewed it twice, here and here.) But that film is hard to come by (it’s officially only available in Japan) and expensive when you do find it. For pennies a frame, it’s hard to beat Fujicolor 200!Of course that means it’s not as versatile as the Industrial 400, but that doesn’t matter too much for me. If I know I’m shooting an ISO 200 film, I won’t go out and do it in bad light anyway. Finally, that aforementioned wide exposure latitude is a good safety net should the light really be too bright or dim, and the film has good enough dynamic range to render light and dark areas well in the same shot, as you can see with the fish market and pigs shots below. Ignoring the cast that's more prevalent in highlights - it's a good example of the color rendering. Natural but plenty punchy. Final Words It also has a well-saturated color palette, leading to bright and bold colors. This seems to be the biggest criticism of this film. Fortunately, shooting it at EI 100 tones the saturation down a little. But after having shot miles of this film, to me, this is what color film is supposed to look like.

A film that delivers high-quality colour renditions and moderate grain, Fujifilm C200 is forgiving with highlights and known for providing reliable results across different lighting situations.

Your photos on cool stuff.

Fujicolor C200 is Fujicolor 200 though, so you can take this as a review of both. For the remainder of it, I’ll be using the name C200 only, as that’s what I’ve shot.
