I completely agree. I dare say it is the only colour print film I would
now use (I prefer slide). The only time I used it was to photograph NLC.
The results were fantastic. I'd go to say that they were as sharp or
sharper than Fuji Sensia 100. One thing which was very notable is their
ability to record blues. You can see some scans of these images (albeit
very poor resolution ones) in the section "NLC images" from my website:

I think this summer I'll load my OM-1n with Sensia 100 and my Om-10 with Reala
and make some proper comparisons.
Best Wishes,
Gareth.

I am beginning to believe that equipment has very little to do with
the quality of photography when compared to the photographer as far as
influence in the final product..
That said.. I have to give Reala yet another thumbs up..
In a room filled with 6 (six!!) Leica owners, when we whipped out our
photos, they all marvelled at mine; and agreed that most of theirs
looked very ho-hum...
I will try to get my pics up this week, been busy with chinese new
years... But I can tell you, some of the shots are just stunning,
Reala is amazing... One guy commented that the pictures looked
unreal... A few in the room were 645 shooters, who claim 35mm is for
whimps. They too gave big thumbs up for my pics... My Om1n + 3
lenses was cheaper then any one piece of equipment that the others
owned in the room! And I walked out with the best pics by far...
<golf clap> for the Om! The camera is well designed that it doesn't
get in the way of what I am trying to do, and I think that's what the
definition of a successful camera is; one that you forget about...
