I got a couple of rolls of the new Kodak Supra ISO800 film and ran them
through my M6 with the 90 f/2 AA.  I am not sure if this film is available
elsewhere but is has only just become available in the UK, and I have to say
it is superb.  In a close-up of my eldest daughter the colour and skin tones
are absolutely perfect.  You can see the skin texture and very fine blonde
hairs on her arm.  The landscape shots were perfectly exposed with superb
detail and very accurate colours.

I showed this to the guys in the lab and to the Leica rep for London and
they were all amazed at the colour rendition and the complete absence of
noticeable grain.  If you haven't tried it yet, give it a go.
