Advice needed: favorite color films and paper?

[Kyle]

I'm taking a color photography class this quarter. I rarely shoot color, so when I do, I shoot Reala. However, my plan is to shoot 100% color for the next 10 weeks, but I'm going to need a color film faster than Reala for some situations. Any suggestions for a good ISO 400 color print film?

Also, what is a good color paper?

I shot a lot color print film, and use only Fuji, good one is the Superia 400. Not expensive and great results. I think the most important with print film is who process it and print it. Even with great film you can get poor results if don't give you film to a good lab...

Most of the time I use Superia 100 or 200.... with rangefinders and fast lens its enough for me....

I use Fuji Reala and keep a real close eye on the minilab.

Thanks for the advice. Fuji Crystal Archive was the recommended paper, but I wasn't sure if there was anything better.

Kyle,

After a godzillion years of shooting 'chrome I'm just beginning to shoot color print film.

I really like Reala. 😉

George,
Thanks, I like Reala too. I think I'll just shoot low speed color for day and use B&W for lower light shooting.
