 Shame Fujifilm killed Superia 400, supposedly an ingrediant or two was no longer available. Fujifilm still has a 400 ISO colour film for the global market, it is mostly the same emulsion as Lomography 400 C-41 and hails from the same Kodak coating line. I'm glad I built up a stash of Superia 400 early on in the pandemic years and I plan shoot it all this year, because the best occasion to shoot that special film is the next photo walk.  Camera: Nikon F4E, Nikkor Ai lenses.  Film: Fujifilm Superia 400 (sadly no more). 

  We've been getting a lot of grey Saturdays of late, and counter intuitive, I shot colour film, in this case two rolls (more next post) from my Fuji Superia 400 stash, sadly Fujifilm discontinued that film and buying and relabling film made at Eastman Kodak who also make for Lomography. Of course the Superia 400 had to go through my F4, I traded in my chrome Nikon FM for a MB-23 Battery which took 6 AA batteries and turned my F4 into an F4E. Sadly the autofocus point was still a bit flaky. No bother, I use my F4(E) as a manual focus camera, now with a really fast built in motor drive.  Toronto Photo Walks has some great programming for those who are keen to get out there to photograph Toronto and surrounding area and are a friendly bunch. Haven't been to Cabbagetown, the Toronto Film Shooters did serveral walks through the neighbourhood usually starting across the Don Valley in Riverdale and wind up at the Stout Pub.  Camera: Nikon F4E, Nikkor Ai lenses.  Film: Fuji...
