Ultra 50, yes, I remember it well, and may have used it for one of my TOPE
entries a long time ago. I can't recall if the saturation was hallucinogen-
or steroid-induced.

Can anyone remember the highly saturated and vivid colour AGFA Ultra 50
negative film ?
Kodak describes Ektar 100 as an "ultra vivid color" and "high saturation"
film.
I wonder if Ektar 100 is a repeat of the Agfa experience where the saturated
colours were eye popping?
