Default Konica Centuria Super 400 or Fuji Xtra 400

Is Konica Centura Super 400 a good film or is better Fuji Superia xtra
400?
I like Konica Centuria Super 400 in available light and my fast lens
(35/2, 100/2). Is Fuji xtra 400 advanced in quality regarding Konica
Centuria Super 400?
I like also Fuji NPH, sed is more expensive. I use NPH in particular
occasions, not like my standard film.
Thanks Mau

What does a roll of film cost? You are the only one who can judge what YOU
like in colours. I find most Konica films are too magenta for my taste, but
even that can be adjusted out in Photoshop. Spend the money on a few rolls
of various films and decide what YOU like - this is a purely subjective
thing - no one else can determine Your favourite film.

I prefer Konica Centuria over Fuji consumer films. To my eye the Konica
renders the most natural skin tones of any consumer grade film I've tried.

On the other hand the Fuji film produces prints with more contrast. As with
many things photographic the choice between the two emulsions is a matter of
personal taste.
