FUJI? Anyone?

[S8 Booster]

somtime around 1980 i used this film - the below is neg scans - the paper prints looked way better by printing coincidence - however, the filmwas sold as IFI-Color by incognito and no brand name on the neg. theinfor on the neg is: SAFETY-F 100N.

was it Fuji? paper prints looked at least as good as slides.....

anyone?





shoot.....

Hi,

maybe you should ask this question on a forum for still-photography?

The "SAFETY-F" is most likely "SAFETY-FILM" with the ILM being located in a perforation hole.
The "100N" doesn't help as Fuji is using the "N" to mark newer emulsions (e.g. the Single8 Fujichrome R25 later became the Fujichrome R25N), while Agfa is using the "N" for an unknown reason on some of its edge-codes (e.g. the XRG 200 is marked as XRG 200N on the film - not sure whether the "N" is for Neu/New or for Negativ(e)). Not sure whether other companies used an "N" as well...

BTW: There could be more identifiers than just the "100N", e.g. notches, colour of the DX-code, some dots, ... :

As it's a "no-name"-film from approx. 1980, it could be nearly anything: 3M (also known as Ferrania or Scotch), Afga, Fuji, Kodak, Konica, ... even Svema or Orwo.
