Hi Brian,
I use mostly Fuji negative from ISO 100-400 (SHG, SHGV.. few Reala due
to the price), the price of Fuji films here are cheaper and I found the
quality is not much differ from Kodak. For print film, the color and
contrast is controlled by the lab you use. For non custom prints, the
machine's auto exposure system will take care of the exposure, the
result will most likely differ from your expected.
And I found here different labs bear different characteristics. Fuji
labs' prints are higher in contrast, cooler and color enhanced. Kodak
labs' are normal contrast, slightly warm and normal color saturation.
Konica labs (I have tried one lab only) is lower contrast, slightly warm
and a bit wash out.
Want to have more control of your result? use slide!
