Is this the best cheap 35mm film stock? | Leica M6 | Street Photography | Mexico EP18

Back when I was in Monterrey/Mexico I met up with my buddy Pablo to do some street photography. That day I was shooting Fuji Superia 400 which might be my favorite cheapish 35mm film stock. Last year it was almost impossible to get it over here in Europe since it was back ordered but fortunately it is available again. However, the price for a roll is going up and up like for almost all the color negative film stocks which isn't that fortunate at all.
On that day I was using my Leica M6 with a Voigtländer 35mm f/1.7 Ultron which was pretty much the only lens I used on my film Leica. In the end it would have been better to bring my 28mm with me and use that instead. :D

    Another interesting video, being new to film photography, so new I haven’t even had a film developed, I’m learning from you all the time, even just types of film is all new to me. Ok, so I have shot plenty of film in the past, but that was on cheap point and shoots taking photos on holidays, days out, that sort of thing but before I really got into photography, especially Street Photography which is a passion of mine that I really want to take as far as I can. I’d love to travel but funds are just not available, even going to London isn’t on the cards at the minute, unfortunately I’m unable to work due to a number of health issues, not making excuses I worked for as long as I could until my body told me I couldn’t. I’m using a Pentax KM and and Minolta 500si at the moment, I do have a Pentax 1000 and a Minolta 7000 too but I seem to have an issue with the 7000. I was honoured to be given Horne Pentax and a bunch of other gear from a friend of mine, he is actually one of my old Surgeons that retired and took up photography, gaining a couple of diplomas and degrees and the gear he gave me belonged to his late father.......now you see why I said I was honoured, especially with him now being a photographer himself.

    I always find Superia has a slightly blue-green cast or it least it does from various UK C41 processors. I prefer the colour balance of Kodak Ultramax 400 pulled to 200 ISO for use on my various film Leicas. I am allergic (after years of being careless, not wearing gloves in the darkroom) to the Hydroquinone in the C41 process, so I cannot process my own colour films, although I can do my own B&W with HQ-free Rodinal.
