History of Fuji Astia 100F Film

Introduced by Fujifilm as part of the professional-grade Fujichrome series, Astia 100F (RAP100F) was designed for portrait and fashion photographers who needed a film that could deliver smooth, natural-looking skin tones while maintaining crisp detail. With its ISO 100 sensitivity, this daylight-balanced color reversal (slide) film quickly gained a reputation for superb color accuracy and ultra-fine grain, making it ideal for editorial, commercial, and beauty photography.

Fuji Astia 100F was also equipped with MCCL (Multi-Color-Correction Layer) technology, ensuring faithful reproduction of subtle tones in skin and fabrics. It also featured new couplers for improved color stability, giving it greater resistance to fading compared to earlier reversal films.
