Not really. 120 format is considered a pro format, and the films
have traditionally been 160 iso. Look at the Kodak Portras (2
emulsions) Fuji NPS, Agfa Portrait 160, and I think even Konica
makes a 160iso print film. Admittedly there is a smaller market
for 120 films, but there are lots of good ones out there.
Depending on what you are shooting, Reala may not be a good
choice. It failed me miserably at Bryce Canyon.
