"Enhanced" in that Fuji generally formulates their films (and I can't speak
for *all* Fuji film since I don't shoot Fuji unless the clients insists), to
enhance greens. Fuji film, on the Gamma correction scale, is "cool," hewing
more to the Europeans standard while KODAK leans toward "warm," the American
standard.
Some photographers and marketers use "enhanced" and "saturated"
interchangeably.
I suggested Portra because it *is* a medium contrast film, as is Supra,
neither of which can be considered "saturated" or "enhanced" films. Both
films will dig out shadow details and tones most films might miss.
A lens incapable of rendering shadow detail will be exposed for its
shortcomings when shooting PORTRA or EKTAPRESS. Couple that lens with a film
incapable of reproducing shadow detail and you have a hard time making
decisions as to the capabilities of the lens.
SUPRA 800 is superb in shots with a 3 to 4 stop difference in the viewfinder,
shots most slide films can't touch.
