I've shot several rolls of Supra 100. It is punchier and more contrasty
than Reala, but then almost anything is. Grain looks pretty good on scans.
Better than Portra 160. Skin tones looked really good on both light and
dark skin. I have quite liked it. It might even replace my heavy use of
Portra. I find that my scanner (Minolta Dual Scan Plus) handles it quite
well. That is my first quick look. I'm going to shoot some more and hope
to have a better feel soon. If you'd like, I can send you a scan or two at
1200 dpi so you can see.
On a similar vein, I am trying to find the finest grained (sharpest) 35mm
print film that will do well with portraits. Current candidates are Fuji
Reala, Supra 100, Konica Impressa 50 (got to check the skin tones) and
?????. Anybody have any experience to share?
Thanks,
