SUPRA 100 Film
Strength:
Extremely fine grain. Excellent color and saturation while still retaining accurate skin tones. Easy to scan (less correction required). Price is very reasonable, being less than even the consumer Royal Gold. Room temperature storage.
Weakness:
None yet. This film is actually Ektapress 100 with a new name (the other Supra speeds are new emulsions). Not having used PJ100 in the past, I was amazed at how good this film is. The colors are accurate, the saturation and contrast are perfect for outdoor scenics/nature. It's an excellent choice for big enlargements. Best of all, the price is right, not inflated the way so many pro films are these days.

Strength:
The film is not as saturated as I expect. The Fuji counterpart was better in this regard. The Supra 100 is indeed very2 sharp. Its grains are smooth. Skin tone is rendered well.
Weakness:
It is not as saturated as I like to see. However, this is a personal preference. Primary colors were not recorded bold enough. Greens are not good at all. This film is a decent one. I think it's more suitable for portrait. It is a sharp print film with nice grains. However, due to my personal preferences of bold colors, this film will not be frequently used. Some may like the saturation, especially for portrait. Customer Service Never tried to contact Kodak Similar Products Used: Fuji Superia 100 |

Strength:
Fine grain &, in my opinion, realistic colors (not like that freaky Fuji stuff). Relatively cheap.
Weakness:
None except that, as others have noted, it doesn't have super-saturated colors & may be better suited to portraits & such. A very good color film that's actually cheaper than its consumer equivalent (Royal Gold 100). Customer Service Not needed. Similar Products Used: Royal Gold 100, Reala |

Strength:
Kodak states that Supra has been designed to scan well. I certainly agree with that. Scans with my HP S20 scanner are beautiful with minimal grain and neutral color.
Weakness:
4x6" prints from the local Ritz lab had some colors off but that's not a weakness of the Supra negatives. I really like the look of the scanned Supra negatives. They're the best looking color negatives I've come across. Similar Products Used: Kodak and Fuji consumer print films, Fuji Sensia II slides |

Strength:
Pretty cheap. Good color saturation and balance. I usually don't use Kodak films much, but this one is nice. Good reciprocity characteristics and excellent lattitude (if printed correctly). Overall, the best color print film Kodak has to offer. No offense fans of the yellow company.
Weakness:
Accurate color except some blues turn out funny. Good film. Excellent at night (no really funky colors). Good latitude. Scans well too. Not as good as Reala, but what print film is? Four stars. Everything else from Kodak gets three, except 400VC which would get about one flaming turd. Similar Products Used: Fuji Reala, Agfa Optima II, Fuji NPS |

Strength:
Very fine grain structure, good
Weakness:
Kind of washed out when there are sunny skies. I use this a lot along with Reala 100 which I find quite similar. Supra seems better when Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Reala 100, Konica 50 Pro |

Strength:
Strong, warm colours which are true t the eye. Handles skin tones well and good for indoor shots, even in artifical lighting without a flash. Can handle being pushed without image degradation. Great for night portraits with a flash.
Weakness:
Does not seem to like strong outdoor light too much. Used 5 rolls at one event and outdoor shots during the day were washed out. Great for indoor event and portrait shots. Strong colours which are true and does not overplay reds and greens. However, seems to get tricked by strong outdoor light, but night shots with flash were good. If you are only shooting indoors or at night, use it. Colours and image were truer and sharper that Royal Gold. If you are possibly shooting in both environments at the same event and do not want to be worrying about changing films, opt for Royal G as it handles combination better. Customer Service Have not used. Similar Products Used: Kodak Gold, Royal Gold |

Fine grain. Sharp. Great colour in overcast, low light and flash conditons.
Weakness:
Seems to hate direct sunlight Good alround film, especially with flash. Watch the sun, however, as it can wash this film out quite markedly. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Excellent in shade or flat light. Most colors very accurate. Extremely fine grain.
Weakness:
Skin tones slightly off. I received a pro pack at no charge from my Kodak TSR (I run a pro lab in downtown Dallas). Photographed my kids at local gardens. Greens were beautiful. Looked good with 81a in shade. ***DON'T JUDGE COLOR BY MACHINE PRINTS - SCANNER BIAS WILL AFFECT YOUR OPINION!**** Customer Service Unknown Similar Products Used: Fuji Reala, Royal Gold, Gold 100 |
