Default Superia 1600 and Natura 1600

Will there be any chance of Fuji in Singapore ever bring in these 2 films? It has caught on with HUGE popularity across the globe, and it's sad to know it is only sold in Japan.

superia 1600 is already sold her. just that not very common and very very few shops carry it. can try ruby or cathay photo.

natura 1600 is only available in japan but according to the datasheet on fuji site, it seems to be same as superia 1600 although a few web reports claim otherwise. i have yet to see any real difference in the photos posted.

Oh no, I have already ordered 3 rolls of Natura. Didn't know that Singapore actually sells the Superia 1600 which is actually said to be "almost as good". Stumbled on this thread after deciding to google abit. Should help explored this part of the forums earlier.

Any pics to share from either the Superia or Natura?

Ah, the shots from the Bangkok trip? Not bad.

Hmm, how about samples from Superia 1600? Heh. Can't tell which has finer grain if there aren't pics to compare with right?

From what I could find on flickr, Superia 1600's grain is very bad, like the first generation DSLRs at ISO800. Haha.
