My film guru tells me the same, but he says that Supra is going to replace Royal Gold. Are they the same film? Seems like it to me. Steve Larson Redondo Beach, California Bob wrote: Got some bad news for you...my local guru at Ritz sez ALL Royal Golds are being retired...Kodak has just reduce

Interesting. Pop Photo's film comparison table notes that Kodak's GA, GB and GC films all have "medium high" contrast, and Fuji Superia Reala 100, Superia 200 and 400 have "medium" contrast. (Apparently, Fuji Superia 100 is different in that it has "high" contrast. Go figure.) I wonder how their j

FWIW, ol' Greenspun recommends either 100 or 400 ISO for print films, and to stay away from 200. The resolving power of 200 and 400 are usually so close that you might as well get the 400 and the extra stop that comes with it. t On 1/4/02 3:07 PM, Lawren

I don't really think Royal Gold 100 is like Portra; in my opinion, the Portra is more natural, while the RG is a bit more punchy. But so much can depend on the printing, for sure. You might try Fuji Reala 100. It's has very fine grain and rich colors -- if that's what you want. I have complete

I was casting about on rec.photo.film+labs a while ago in search of a highly saturated C-41 film for flower season a few months off. Someone posted that Konica Centuria 200 has color saturation nearly equal to Agfa Ultra 50 (now gone). I'm going to try some of it this spring. For that matter, Fuj

dick, I used to use Lots and lots of Portra NC 160, but more recently have been using Fuji Reala 100. I am very happy with the saturation, skin tones, lower contrast and lack of grain. You might give it a go. Perhaps, like me, you will be pleasantly surprised. Bruce Dayton Thursday, Januar
