That was no fluke, Chris. Agfa Ultra is incredibly saturated. Steve Berlin
uses it extensively. Take a gander at some of the landscapes on his
website:

And, as you noted, a tripod is practically a must for most shots.
The knock against Agfa Ultra is that, despite being a 50 ASA film, it's not
the sharpest around. Folks who've examined it critically say it's somewhat
less sharp than most 100 films. But that may be a fair trade off for the
lush colors, which are particularly well suited for landscapes, flowers,
etc.

...the salesperson
suggested that I try a roll of Agfa Ultra ASA 50 film. He said this stuff
would "blow my socks off" with the colors it produces....Well, the
salesperson was right! The colors on that shot are *really*
rich! Reds come out *really* red, and so forth!
