I'm not sure about the greens being over saturated ( I'll have to look at my photos). The reds are diffently saturated. But remember is depends on where you get your film processed. All process machines are different. Plus it depends on the paper itself. There is supposed to be a new version of the 100 Optima coming out soon.
