Not to sound like a broken record, but... have you tried the newish
Kodak Supra 800?  It truly rocks.  I haven't been buying CZ or NHG II
since I shot a few rolls of the Supra.

The Supra 400... I dunno.  I've seen a few pictures with that effect I
associate with Agfa Ultra, the thing where similar colors seem to fall 
into the same hypersaturated bucket;  but I'm prepared to believe that 
all that's wrong is the printer bring unfamiliar with the film's
characteristics, or a pessimal match of film to paper or something.
Because I've also seen some Supra 400 snaps look really good.  But the 
800?  Just plain always better than I expect an 800-speed fillum to
be, and none of the above surprises.
