In 2024 no one really knows anymore what is going on at Fujifilm when it comes to actual analogue film. Apparently the Fujifilm 200 that is being sold in the US is just relabeled Kodak Gold 200 – something absolutely unthinkable of just a few years ago. This Fuji 100 I received from a reader (Thanks a lot!) has been bought directly from Japan though, so it looks like the real deal, let’s have a look at the results together.
Processing (C.41) and scanning was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany.
I do like the results I got from this film, especially its deep blues I find appealing and it is also fairly high contrast. Being an ISO 100 film it is obviously best suited to daylight shooting, so this is what I mostly did with it.
I really liked the two actual Fuji films I exposed and I really hope we haven’t seen the last of them yet. I will leave you with some more pictures from this roll.

Very nice colors and your pictures yield the best from that film! Well done!
Apparently Fuji is opening a film production line in China, in a factory working already since long time with them. Hope this fills up the stocks soon. This is for C200 and a (new?) C400.
I still have 20ish rolls of Fuji Pro 400h in the freezer, from the last batch with 2023 expiry dates…

Wow I love the sort of glow the highlights have and the medium shadows. Phenomenal shots too. Is this all Istanbul?
Yes it is!
Fuji 100 one of my favorite films. It always performed great with my Contax G2 and Zeiss glass. I prefer it over Kodak C41.
I like it, too!
Very nice pictures ! I love your analogue adventures. It makes me want to shoot film again (the last time, I was a teenager).
I am glad there are people that enjoy them.
PS: great wedding pictures on your homepage!
Thanks a lot !
I feel I might be a minority in preferring Fuji 100’s deeper true blues to Kodak Gold’s golden tint and greenish-blues
I don’t think you are the only one.
As I understand it, the scanning process (especially the scanning software used) has a significant impact on color and contrast. So I wonder to what extent the results can actually be attributed to the film.
So I put up for discussion: different scanner and different scanning software then result in different colors and contrasts.
I only use one lab for C-41 and another one for ECN-2 hence you can compare those aspects very easily here.
