Fuji reala

<p> I noted that fuji reala had been discontinued for a while now. For reasons i wont go into ihave quite a few rolls of film but their dates are about 2007 they have been stored in the fridge not the freezer and there are a couple of rolls of fuji reala there would it be worthwhile trying them if i manage to go to the lake district this year? I always loved this film for for landscape</p>

<p>Slow film, could still be decent. There's always the test roll approach.<br>

If you plan to scan yourself, reasonable color errors can be corrected.<br>

I've used some very old C-41 films that came out quite reasonable, and ones "only" 10 years old that didn't. Very unpredictable.</p>

<p>5 years, slow film, stored cold - I say shoot it. Any color shift will be minor and easy to correct.</p>

<p>In my house this is called "fresh film". ;)</p>

<p>Or sell it & collect a small fortune. 35mm Reala film is in high demand, only available fresh from Japan presently, not given away at around $10. -$15. a roll.</p>

<p>Thanks guys just discovered some 120 roll film as i didn't normally use 120 it went unused but i now have bought a yashicamat 124G from ebay now all i have to do is figure out how to open the battery chamber which seems stuck will ring them up</p>

<p>Reala is still available, just not in 35mm. It's available in 120, brand new.</p>

<p>Beautiful image, perfect colors & saturation for Landscape. Very similar to Velvia 100 Film with a little less saturation.<br>

120 Reala can be still be found at at very reasonable cost, the 35mm is a different story, imported. It would be great if Adorama would import it, I doubt Adorama would ask for $15.00 a Roll.</p>

<p>It's great that it's still available i can't agree that it's like velvia it looks far more natural a bit like kodachrome 64 these two were my favorite films</p>

<p>Beautiful shot Patrick, feels like I'm right there !</p>

<p>A little over a month ago, I ordered expired 35mm Reala 100 from the Lomography store (5 rolls for 17.50 + shipping). Haven't had the chance to check them out, but I've shot with old film (i.e. over 7 yrs) that hadn't been stored in a fridge and still got decent (even excellent) color - although minor color corrections were required. I'd say 5yr old film from the fridge can be considered (in comparison), as JDM von Weinberg said, "fresh film." :)</p>
