Film is super crap I not like at all, I did put first roll into a camera to discover both. Camera really shine with pro film or slide I not recommend this film at all.

Really you are unhappy?
These images seem very detailed to me, I like them.

These are best ones from roll, not comparable with a good film or slide.
Weather was nearly perfect with superb lights, scene.
Look this for example

These are scans from the negs, not prints?

I would not have expected such results from any Fuji film. What is most worrying is the variability of the quality. I'd expect it all bad or all good, not some ok and some not. Are you sure the processing was good?

I am not sure about processing at all I don't have any knowledge how can I recognize reason was bad processing. From same roll I got some acceptable images and some really crappy one.

One more..

My God that's not so very good at all, had to run to the store for another
bottle of Visine. So sorry for you Attila, I'd send you a Get Well card, but
by the time you got it, you would have been well again. Laughing

Try Portra (any flavor) my current color negative film fave.

I think I would try one more roll but get it processed somewhere else, just to see. It may be that Fuji make a crap film, I would just be surprised for them to make a film that bad Confused

I think Fuji like Canon make very variable quality products I got awful result on Sensia 200 slide too in pro lab.

Look this like a dead lake ..

Fuji Reala, Fuji Pro 400h, Fuji S160 all are good ones.
My favourites slides are Velvia 50,100, Provia 100,Sensia 100.

Sensia 100 is worlds different from any other Sensia that I've seen.
