fuji superia venus ?

So, apparently its a new film in 400, 800, 1600 speeds that was

launched some time last year. Supposed to have even better grain and

extremely good low-light colour reproduction. It shows up on

fujifilm's japan website, but other than that, all seems very quiet

about it.

 

Does anybody knwo how to get it if you are not in Japan? Or how long

its likely to take until its available? Even better - anybody know how

to convince Fuji that making it available elsewhere *fast* is a good idea?

 

Yeah, and the website shows a new version of Reala (reala ace)

existing too.

According to reports I've seen here on photo.net in the past, Superia Venus is the same thing as Superia XTRA, which is what they call it in the U.S.A. and some other countries.

I just got back from Japan, and when I went to get print film in a store there, I saw

tons of the Venus

film but no XTRA. I couldn't figure out from talking to people if this is what they're

calling XTRA or a new film.

Wasn't able to tell from their Japanese website either. I'm shooting a roll now of the

Venus, so it would be interesting to know what's in my camera, although my guess is

that it wouldn't be that different from XTRA in any case. Maybe it's like their XTRA vs.

Press film, which seem to be just about the same if not identical.

I'm still waiting to find out about the new 1600 Natura
