gfen,

If ultra vivid is what you want, then Velvia or Kodak 100VS is your
game.  In the print film realm, the king was Agfa Ultra 50 - alas is
has been discontinued for some time and you probably won't be able to
find any.  My experience with print films is that if they are real
vivid, then they either work well in high contrast of low contrast
lighting but not both well.  For low contrast situations - Agfa Optima
II 100 is quite nice.  For higher contrast situations - Konica
Impressa 50 and Fuji Reala 100 are both very nice.  If you would like
samples, I can email you some.
