Without meaning to instigate rancor, the two could not be more different.
Royal Gold is a "consumer" film competing with the FUJI "enhanced color "
brands. No way does it have the finesse available to Supra shooters;
(remember, I'm a KODAK POE (Promise of Excellence) program "pro."
<< Sharp, very fine grain, and skin colors that somehow seem just a bit off,
somehow.>>
If by that you mean "natural," uncompromised by "enhancing" or "saturation,"
I might agree. But the color is not or never "off," (unless one is using a
bad lens), or haven't changed the chemicals in one's JOBO processor. The
Supras are hands down scanning champs.
<<(Supra 100/PJ100 may be essentially the same emulsion as RG100 on a
different color, easier-to-scan acetate. . . )>>
The only meaningful comparison of Supra to any other print film is to compare
it to EKTAPRESS PJ 100, Supra 100s direct antecedent. Any other comparison is
a subjective stretch, my observation meant to contend, without being
contentious.
<<My impression is that it's in the same league as Superia-Reala,>>
KODAK'S finest medium contrast "pro" emulsion against FUJI "consumer" films?
Heresy!
<<with a bit less color accuracy in purples. I happen to prefer Reala.>>
Which obviously "colors" your perceptions of the Supra breed.
