From my all-Minolta road trip - Fuji Superia 400, CVS scan with some dup + multiply to tame the washed-out bright scans, Minolta SRT 201, MD 35-70mm f/3.5 lens - this is some sharp kit!

Yes, I haven't shot Superia 400 for a while, it's nice film. The 35-70 is a real treat...

These are CVS scans. I find that doing the following makes them look more like how I'd scan them:
Dup the image, maybe do 'auto color' on it. Blend it back, often it needs 100%, in multiply. This brings the photo back out from the bleached over exposed look CVS seems to think is the correct one.

It sure is a sharp outfit. Very nice.
I like the film also for close to short distance but seem to get weird colors at long distance. Maybe its something I'm doing.

I'm thinking of it, once B&H re-opens after the holidays, both it and Portra 160

It does look like a good combo.
In fact, #2 looks a little oversharp. I've no idea what or whom CVS is so that may be the culprit.

Very nice results for Superia 400. I have some here I'm still working through. I'm not a big fan of it because the scans I get with it are usually quite grainy. But for display on the web, it does a decent job.
@Martinsmith99, CVS is a large drug store chain here in the US. Perhaps you would call them "chemists?" Most all of the stores have a small photo processing center located on premises.

Yes, CVS is a drugstore chain that still has minilabs in store. The main advantage is if you find a good one, they do good work at a low price. But their scans usually need some work.

Very impressive image quality from that lens. The one you have and
hopefully the one I recently won on ebay is the last of the 3 versions
with closest focusing to 1.1 feet:
