Yes. If you are speaking of SHQ-100 that is ? Fuji's nominclature leaves 
soemthing to be desired. Just to make certain here is a description of 
the packaging:

Typical Fuji Box . SUPER HQ 100 on the ends. This particular roll has an 
expiration date of 12-2003. <laughs> Probably still good.

Good right out of the box. My opinion is that it still falls short of 
Supra though. But not by much. I liked this film three years ago because 
the local Wolf Camera would stock it in 12 exposure rolls. Very handy 
indeed for testing things. I still have a dozen rolls in the freezer. I 
think Don mentioned this stuff being available at Walmart or Target ? 
Thats makes it even better.

I saw no real change with hypering. But I also recall that someone hyped 
this stuff but that the time spent in forming gas was very short. I seem 
to remember that a longer cycle produced a color shift but with my 
memory I would not take that to the bank.

Tony Hallas might have tested this film ........
