Hi, Paul
Just try Kodak Supra 100, and welcome to paradise ;-)
I hate Fuji Reala and Superia print film colors. Reds
are almost red, blues are almost blues, skin colors
are not exactly skin colors. Everything is mixed.
Gimme Supra, Portra or Optima II (Agfa)
Regards
Albano Fuji only for slides
I'm of similar opinion, but just a bit more convoluted --
It's got a lot to do with lenses as well.
My A lenses have been so contrasty that Kodak's reds are too bright
sometimes wash out.
But the FA 43/1.9 is warmer and works beautifully with Kodak,
whereas the A produces some nice results with
Hi,
When I shoot colour neg I usually shoot Reala, but I've noticed that I quite
often get fluorescent green grass? This is from mini lab prints at different
labs and from my own scans of the negs.
Has any one else noticed this? Its just looks really unnatural and wrong.
Thanks,
Paul
Paul,
I agree with your assessment. I don't like the way Reala handles
greens. They don't look natural to me either.

Paul,
Now I need to go back and look at some of my Reala shots and see if I
notice anything like that. I'll let you know what I find.

Hi,
It had often crossed my mind that the greens were weird, but i'd never
really thought any more about it, until i had a shot of white dog sitting on
some grass and the contrast of the stark white dog and flurescent grass was
bizzarre :)
It is a great film apart from this, but it makes me feel
Paul,
I often noticed a slight greenish tinge to light-colored caucasian skin
tones also with Reala. I stopped using Reala and started using Portra
NC. The colors with Portra NC are more realistic to my eyes.

Hi,
I've never had the green skin problem with Reala.
How does Portra NC handle really sunny days with harsh lighting? As i found
Reala to be quite good in these situations.
Thanks,

Paul,
My son has extremely pale skin. I didn't notice it all the time, but sometimes
I picked up a slightly green tinge on his skin.
I find Portra NC to be excellent under most conditions. I do think the lab
and paper probably affect it to some degree, but I have been overall happier
with
Porta 160 and 400NC are my standard films of choice. It's soft contrast
allows me to shoot yellow, red or black hunting retrievers in bright
sunlight or cloudy conditions on the same roll of film. Yesterday, I
had bright sunlight in Dallas and I didn't have a problem.
