In Japan I see for sale, Superia film, Superia Premium, and Superia Venus. Anyone know the difference?

I'm off to shoot in Japan for a week soon and want to choose the best film. I dont know how to make a choice out of these three.

Thanks,

Look at he film speeds. Then determine the saturation characteristics. I'm sure it's in the marketing or specs reports. Then pick one. Hint: why anyone would want a grainy 800 speed color negative film is beyond me. So that takes care of 1 of the 4.

Fujifilm's web sites barely acknowledge the existence of film (aside from Instax) so they are of no help. I shoot a lot at low light. There are not many options for film at high ISO so you take what you can get. One roll of Kodak Portra 800 was $17 the last time I was in Japan. I'll be shooting Fuji rather than pay that price.

Interesting, I can't find anything on Superia Premium. We were in Japan last Spring, and I used a lot of Superil in ISO 400. Price was good (for Japan) and quality is great.
