That's surprising.  I have shot quite a bit of Reala and would not quite
compare it to Velvia.  Agfa Ultra 50 (no longer available) and Konica
Impressa 50 both seem to be more saturated to me.  However, I have never
rated it at 80.  I'll give that a try.  I will say that Reala is probably
the single most versatile print film.  It's lower contrast makes it usable
for weddings and the color is very good with skin tones.  If I want more
contrast than Reala then I find Supra to be the ticket.  Different films for
different uses.

Thanks for the tip on the Reala.
