Morning everyone!
The local supplier of Fuji Reala is from Wolf/Ritz camera in Georgia. The packaging actually says FUJICOLOR SUPERIA REALA with a barcode of 0/74101/20113/0 and local pricing of $5.99 for a 36-exposure roll. The packaging also states this is Manufactured For The U.S.A., and also Made In Japan.
Wandering arounf the B&H Photo (and video) website brings me to some strangeness that I feel I must inquire about. Yes, I am and have been familiar with B&H and other vendors selling films both intended for the USA market and film stock not intended for the USA market, but that is not what I am curious about--go figure.
What I am curious about is that B&H is listing variations for 100 (ISO):
Fujifilm CN 135-36 Fujicolor Superia 100 Color Print Film 01010116
Fujifilm CS 135-36 Fujicolor Reala Color Print Film 01020113
Should I interpret this as the 01010116 being consumer-grade and the 01010113 being professional grade?
Also, I am a little bewildered if the product formulations for the Reala is difference for the USA and non-USA markets since they both 'seem' to be made in Japan. Am I wrong on this 'seemingly' geo-manufacturing status? In other words, are the non-USA stocks not made in Japan?[/url]
