Superia 400 is a fantastic film. Shoot it at 400 in a Leica camera and it will
almost make you want to use color film more. In fact, I think I will load one M
with Tri X and the other with Superia when I go to Europe in the spring. Try
one roll and you will like it. My opinion is that it is much, much better than
Kodak.
