I will have to try the Agfa film, but one will not go wrong with any of the
Fuji Superia films. I actually like Superia 100 for general outdoor
shooting even better than Reala. It may be slightly *less* punchy than Reala.
So much is dependent upon processing. With a film scanner (as someone
recently posted) I find that I can finally see what's going on with my
negative film. With a few Photoshop skills, you can get colors as vibrant
as you need. Just find an initial processor who doesn't scratch your
negatives.
