Photography Question

Looking For ULTRA 50 SUBSTITUTE


First let me tell you my pictures taken in Sweden using Agfa Ultra 50 Rule. All the pictures look like postcards and the colors are bold, yet have color that resembles an old western movie or something. Is there any film that has this same color?

One more question, I will be taking pictures of a friends race car doing a wheelie. He wants the photograph to be blown up to an 8x10. I want to stop the action. What type of film do you suggest I use? I want something that isn't going to be too grainy when enlarged. I was thinking of a Fuji 800. Any suggestions??

  Agfa is replacing the Ultra 50 with a 100 speed film. Apparently this is due out in Sept. 2001.

As for the race car, I've never had much luck with 800 speed film blown up to 8x10 without any grain. Best would probably be a 100 speed with a high shutter speed.
