I seem to think it is great for most everything you listed. I haven't used
it for portraits (which I rarely do), but under daylight, the colors seem to
be little punchy, but smoothly so, more pleasing and warmer than Reala. I
stopped using Reala the day I got my first Supra 100 roll back from the
lab - seriously, I have never shot a roll of Reala since then and it was
over 1 year ago. Supra 100 has replaced Reala as my low speed neg film of
choice, except for an occasional roll of Impressa 50. I also switched from
NHG II 800 to Supra 800, though the difference between those 2 is less. To
me, the color of prints using Supra 100 were natural and balanced well,
making Reala appear to have a tendency to be overly bluish or greenish. I
think Supra does a better job than Reala of capturing the yellow/red range
colors.

"The SUPRA 400 and SUPRA 800 Films are new. SUPRA 100 film is a renaming of
KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTAPRESS Film PJ100"
"The new SUPRA Films provide substantial grain, sharpness, and skin-tone
reproduction improvements over the EKTAPRESS Films. "
"SUPRA Films are designed to be push-processed, scanned and enlarged, and
feature a vibrant color palette. These characteristics make SUPRA Films the
ideal choice for commercial applications such as photojournalism, stock, and
fashion photography."
I think the above statements give an accurate view of the Supra films.
Cheers,
Gerald
