Fuji Neopan 100 (B&W) is the same as Fuji Neopan 100 Acros? Read some good feedback about this film. Which shop(s) in singapore sell it? Thx.

dunno whether these're the best prices, but here's what I gather from CP and Fotoguide. Both are out of stock for Provia though when I visited today!?!?

Fuji Velvia ---- $9.50
Fuji Provia 100F ---- $8.50
Fuji Provia 400F ----$11.50

Thanks mpenza.

All big brothers in shooting film please share with us leh...
I found a copy of the July 2002 Popular Photography mag, which reviewed helluva lotta different films. I think the price for the Kodak Max 400 versatility is really good if you're doing indoor/low light portraits. $10.90 for 4 rolls of 36 at Watson's.

Still looking around for a good place where I frequently go to to top up film supplies. Pls help if possible! "--- ... ---"
(that's SOS in morse...)

Kodak Max 400 is not a very good film IMO. Somehow its very grainy. I tried Kodak Royal Gold 400 and its much much better but it not available in singapore.

icebooke · 27th November 2002

OK, roger that. I tried both versions the normal Max 400 and the Max 400 versatility. I think it's improved the grain abit with the latter, but yeah, its still grainy.

mpenza · 27th November 2002

DON'T use Kodak Max 400. I'm not sure why they are somehow rated highly even though actual users have very bad experience with them...

Thought I would just update on some prices from CP (need to add in GST):

1) Fuji Provia 100F 135/36 @ S$8.30 ( currently no stock )
2) Fuji Provia 400F 135/36 @ S$11.50 ( currently no stock )
3) Kodak Professional Ektachrome E200 135/36 @ S$10.20
5) Kodak Ektachrome E100SW 135/36 @ S$9.50
