Summary:
On the strength of recent results will use Konica again despite being committed to Kodak for years. Would be interested to read other reviews about Konica good or bad.
Was a bit suspicious that they were offered free with developing but no complaints so far.

Strengths:
Indoor shots at Christmas very clear and sharp.
Outdoor shots on recent West Africa trip very good, excellent colour.

Weaknesses:
Non that I could see.

Summary:
Unless you are going for murky and dull, this is not the film you want. Konica's APS film is a disaster. I have never used their 35mm film, so I cannot comment on that. Please, please, do yourself a favor in invested the extra dollar to buy the Kodak film that produces rich, vibrant colors and sharp photos.

Strengths:
Blues are decent
It is about a dollar cheaper than Kodak APS film

Weaknesses:
This film (from my experience) is absolutely pathetic. I fubared and decided to try a new film (other than my trusty Kodak Advantix 200) and was utterly dissapointed to see the prints. Greens, browns, whites, reds - just about every color but blue - were drab, dismal, dull, and just plain ugly. There was no vibrance or clarity - no wow! It was sad seeing the beautiful mountains and my well-thought-out shots so massacred by Konica.
