Hi jj... No, I don't think it was that... I've still got a roll of Ultra 50 in the fridge and it seems to be a high saturation film (yep, maggies in the living room and a fridge full of film... no wonder my friends think I'm loopy ^0^). It was something I found in the 80's and I'm not even sure it wasn't a slide film (for a while I was shooting so much print film that I was putting myself into the poor house and switched to slide for a number of years, though that was a hassle too so I eventually switched to print film and just got contact sheets, since I have a habit of blowing a whole 36 exposure roll to get that one good lightning stroke etc, and always blow the first two shots of a roll on a gray-card and color scale anyway)All I remember is that I thought "wow, that looks really drab" for a moment and then realized that it was actually a lot closer to what I'd actually seen with my eyes (instead of that larger than life vibrancy that most films seem to give) and that the earth tones were dead on. Probably not a great film for art prints due to the low color saturation, but great for realistic landscapes. Just checked their web and it doesn't look like they make the stuff anymore (unless it's maybe RSX-100) Haven't tried Fuji NPS yet so might give that a try after I use up all the Reala (hm, just found a roll of Ilford SFX 200 IR film in there... wonder how long that stuff keeps... looks like it expired 3 years ago but it's been refrigerated.... How long can you keep film after the expiration date if you keep it refrigerated?).
