Fuji help
 

I have really only used Kodak films and some Agfa, and I was hoping someone
could point me to a comparison or a review of the Fuji films that are
availible.

Looking for 35mm only. I have used Portra 400 from Kodak as well as Agfapan
100 (B&W)...can someone point me to a similar film in Fuji?

Should I even bother?

I appreciate any constructive help or pointers.

Thanks,

Should I even bother?

That Depends.

There is a Fuji Film FAQ on the web, but it might have too much detail.

Fuji print films that are most worth trying are Reala, new NPH, and NPZ.
Reala is finer-grained and higher-resolution than any Kodak slow film.
Portra 400UC is superior to NPH is most ways, but NPH might be a better
portrait film for certain skin types. NPZ is great for low-light work,
developed push2, although now it's surpassed by a Canon DSLR set to 1600.
I don't shoot much slide film so I will not comment.

Should I even bother?

Personally I like Portra 160NC better than NPS, and find the Kodak and
Agfa B&W films superior to Fuji Neopan. Others may disagree. Superia
is a consumer film and has been quite inconsistent in the past.
