Abstract: Fuji Photo Film has introduced the New Super F Series F-250 and F-250D Color Negative Films in March of 1999, following the previous introduction of the New Super F Series F-64D, F-125 and F-500 Color Negative Films in 1998. The introduction of these two new film stocks completes the upgrading process of the entire line of Super F Series film stocks and offers cinematographers world-class imaging quality and superior digital manipulation compatibility. The improvements in image quality of the New F-250 and F-250D film stocks are comparable to the dramatic improvements attained last year in the New F-500. This paper discusses the benefits offered by the New F-250 and F-250D film stocks and the technological developments utilized in their design. The New Super F Series F-250 and F-250D Color Negative Films incorporate two significant proprietary technological developments which results in significantly improved granularity, sharpness, color reproduction, latitude and telecine transfer characteristics. The first of these developments is Fuji's Super Uniform Fine Grain (SUFG) technology. This proprietary advancement is particularly effective in increasing fine-grain sensitivity, which has previously been unachievable in high-speed photosensitive materials. The SUFG technology is incorporated into all layers of the new F-250, F-250D and F-500 films and is responsible for their remarkably fine grain. The second development is Fuji's unique DIR technology. This proprietary improvement is also a critical factor in the new emulsion's performance equation and brings vast improvements in sharpness and color reproduction over traditional high-speed emulsions through more precisely controlled release of a highly diffusible development inhibitor.
