best colour film

May I make a recomendation, I have been shooting exclusively film for about 3 months and I have used many colour films and I have observed that the best colour film to use for all situations is for me, agfaphoto vista 100,200 and 400. They have very good versatility and are very well saturated but in a really nice soft way, and have very low grain at all asa's (100, 200 and 400)

and for a pound at poundland you can buy a roll of 200 vista 36 exposure

I've mainly used Ektar 100 which I really like but have been trying some of the other makes too, although mainly in 120 rolls.

I have just got back into film, so trying various film types.
Currently in my Spot F I have a roll of Ektar 100, My MF camera (rolleiflex - sorry) is Ektarchrome, and my MZ-5n is some Ilford FP4 B+W

I have not used Agfa ever, but I might just try it.

Having said that, I LOVE Fuji Reala 100, especially in the studio. Natural colours and fine grain. Even in the street it was nice too.

I might just get a roll of Agfa Vista 400 in the SV when I get it tomorrow.

Unfortunately all my favourite films are disappearing fast.

You need to use a better fixer then!

Ooo naughty Greynolds!

Colour film is one thing I try to avoid, it costs money to get developed.

I'll stick to Fomapan B&W, although I am tempted to try the £1 AGFA film from £land, they also get Kodak in from time to time.

I suppose it depends on which warehouse is dumping stock.

I actually really like the £1 Kodak, works really well with the Spotmatic F and Takumar lenses. Gives a nice retro feel to the pics.

Ektar is really good though you have to nail the exposure to get best results. Haven't used slide film so can't really comment. I'd like too, but my skills aren't really good enough probably............

Even though I'm a skint postgrad, I don't mind the little expense film needs as it keeps me out of the pub! If we don't use it, they will stop making it and where would all that great kit from yesteryear do then?

Agfa Vista is really made by Fuji these days....so I'm told.

One of my all-time favourite colour films was Fuji Superia 200, not used colour print film for a while now so do not know what it is like today

I loved the last Agfa color negative films, especially the Optima line.
When Agfa went under I tried various Fujis and didn't like any of them.

My favorite inexpensive films are Kodak Gold 100 and Kodak Ultramax 400.

The Kodak Portra line films are excellent but much more expensive.
Kodak Ektar 100 is very nice but a little fussy with regard to exposure.
