Agree with colour mission got 10 rolls took some to Fiji its a great film in the tropics and with dark skin. Looks and shoots bit like slide film. ADOX has gone very quiet about color film of late.
Very cool! Fiji is on my list for next year, how was it? Yeah I was thinking they haven't brought out the low speed film they were talking about a while back...
I just had a sneak-peek at your YT video, Matt (I'll watch in more detail later, as I'm off out). Full disclosure - I'm much more of a B&W fan, so I don't claim to be expert when it comes to colour film. Of the ones I've used over the past 50 years, I'd have to go with Portra 160 and 400 as my top tier. When I shot weddings for friends and families, they did a great job. Ektar is a great film if you like the level of punch and saturation it has. I shot some Pro Image 100 on a trip to Cyprus a few years ago and loved it. However, I was less keen on it on duller lighting days back in the UK. If I had to choose a favourite daylight balanced film for what I like to shoot, I'd probably go with Fuji Pro 160NS but I haven't seen any for a long time and, as I don't shoot much film these days, it's a lost cause for me. However, I'm thinking about trying some faster ISO tungsten-balanced film for evening 'street' shots, so I'd be interested to hear if you have a rated list of those. All the best. PJ.
Hi PJ! Portra are amazing films for sure, if I was just shooting portraits they'd be my go to. I have a couple rolls of 160NS in the fridge in 120, I bought it in the UK around the time my daughter was born so that's 17 years ago ha ha! Cinestill 400D is fab for pushing to 1600, check it out!

Fiji is great very easy travelling.ive been there lots for work and holidays.
Yes im thinking they may have been hit financially. I use lots of the black and white the chs100 is great.
