I bought it last year from a photog friend who needed some cash. I was told it was refrigerated prior to my purchase, I've had it in my freezer since. I have shot some of the 35mm stock, but it's horrible to use for shooting people, which is about the only thing I use color film for. I imagine it is absolutely beautiful for flowers.

I used some around 2005/06 when you could buy it from Japan. It's like an extreme version of Velvia.

Not trying to be funny but $30 per roll? Am I missing something on this?

Quite similar except not such a saturated red.

Ultra 50 did have the craziest reds I've ever seen. I have a photograph of some red barns that's, well, loud. Not good for Caucasian people though as it made flesh tones go reddish.

It was only available in Japan, only made for a few years & was made in limited quantity. I bought some around 2005, forget what I paid but it wasn't cheap even then.
