Fujifilm 400: Still Superia or Just Ultramax in Disguise?

I was sent a couple rolls of Fuji's newer 400 film from a friend in the community named Lance. He asked me if I could shoot the new Fujifilm 400 to see what I thought of the rumors of this film just being Ultramax in disguise. I agreed to do it because Fuji Superia Xtra 400 is one of my favorite films and I've been pretty devastated since it was discontinued.

Fujicolor 100 – the Fuji Blues
