I use to use 400 speed for everything. On the Superia 400's, it was
sufficiently sharp that I didn't mind the quality and the 2 extra stops.
Recently, I have been using 100 a lot more, especially for portrait
shots. I found that I can open up the f-stop wide, and give me a soft
blurred background and also, the image is a lot softer (on almost all my
lenses) at the widest aperture, and so I have gotten comments from women
on how "their skin looks so great in MY pictures". hehehe... Also, the
100 Reala is very smooth, and no visible grain on a 4x6. Most of my
portrait subjects have been overly happy with the results...

400 is a nice film speed for general use. If I need a slower shutter speed,
I can place an ND filter on the lens...
