Hi

I tried Porta 400 UC when my local dealer ran out of Supra and I didn't really
care for it. I've been ordering "Royal Supra" from B&H Photo (in New York -
USA). Royal Supra is the replacement for Supra that's manufactured in the US
but not sold in North America (figure that one out).

You might want to give Fuji NPH a try. This is less saturated than Kodak 400UC, but
still a vibrant colour palette.
