You have picked the photo magazines' favorite battle here.
From what I've read and seen lately the score is, for sharpness:

	1) Kodak
	2) Fuji
	3) Agfa

As for color, it doesn't seem to be who's best but what the films
favor in color balance. In that area, Kodak still tends to favor
blues, Fuji likes greens and yellows, Agfa tends toward warm reds
and yellows. For fleshtones, though, Kodak still seems to have a
small edge.

Overall, they are all great films, but the most rapid improvement
is comings from Japan, i.e., Fuji. They do have a very good 1600 asa
slide film that I like very much.
