I have only used the superia and the max 400's.The superia just in
the last few months.I find both are good however the fuji i'm finding
gives me a bit better contrast on dull light conditions.Alot of my
horse shots have green backgrounds(trees/grasses) and i find the
kodak is a bit darker than the fuji(using zoom lenses mostly).The
fuji looks a tad cleaner.
Enjoy your trip.The farthest north i have made it to is churchill
manitoba(as far as working ) and i live in canada.You'll like it
alot.Dont' look for to many trees.eh

John,
I've used all of them. �I would lean towards the Supra. �Of the
Kodaks, it
will provide the most punch and has good latitude. �The Max grain is
not as
good and the Portra will still be a little more drab - me thinks. �I
hear
Fuji NPH is also quite nice.
