Walgreens Color Film

[LarryD]

The new made in Japan 400 Speed Walgreens film was on sale so I got a pack to check it out.

Here is a picture of some little flowers on a bush before we had the last freeze... All flowers are dead I hope more return.

Larry,
I use quite a bit of that stuff. Mostly the 400 ASA. Catch it on sale for around a buck per roll in 4 packs. For that price it seems just fine to me. I think it is made for them by Fuji. I get C41 negs there also and then scan 'um at home.

That does in fact look a lot like Superia Xtra 400.  If it's made for 'em by Fuji, there's a limited number of ISO 400 emulsions they could be using (unless, contrary to economic sense, they're making a different emulsion specifically for the rebranding market).

Of course, I've been getting Superia Xtra 400 with a Costco "overbrand" -- it's marked as Fuji but with "return to Costco for quality processing" -- at $8 for 6 rolls of 24, so probably won't be looking at Walgreen's any time real soon.  Costco doesn't have 8 stacks of different kinds of Kodak and Fuji film like they used to have, but they still have one stack of this Fuji at a very good price (not to mention the $45 for 5 packs of Polaroid 600 -- both very good prices indeed for a local vendor).

That's extremely good looking stuff
