Finest, sharpest colour film in 35mm?

[radiantdarkroom]

I would imagine kodak's 5272 would be hard to beat grain wise. ASA 6 Motion Picture film. Would have to buy a rather large roll.

Well, I got back the first set of chromes put through my F6 (the 2nd set of K64 will wait until I have a batch to send to Dwaynes). I loaded the Astia up into my Leica slide projector... and oh boy.. this is some pretty good film. I've been lazy and not done a shoot out yet.. but now I'm very keen.

You're sending film to Dwaynes and you live in Perth? Isn't Dwaynes in the USA?

Sorry, just realised you were talking about the K64 for Dwaynes. Now I understand.

So.. I have an F6 and 85mm f/1.4 in the mail. What is the sharpest colour film to run through it?

Contendors would seem to be in order;

Fuji Astia 100F (RMS 7)
Fuji Provia 100F (RMS 8)
Fuji Sensia (RMS ??)
Kodak E100GX (RMS 8)
Kodak Porta 160VC (RMS ??)
Fuji Reala (RMS 4?????)
Konica Impressa 50 (found this recommended in a thread!)

My preference is towards increased colour saturation and a warmer balance.

Consider Kodak High Definition. There's a 200 and 400 version. The latter is available at Wolf and even Walgreen's, box of 3 x 24 exposure around $10. Go to the Kodak site and check it out.

You can't be serious. That stuff is miserable.

I don't know about miserable, but I tried a roll of HD 200 and frankly there was minimal difference in grain and colour saturation compared to Fuji Superia 200 (OK, there was a bit of a difference in saturation - but nothing outstanding that would make me pay a premium for the HD 200).
