I have only shot the sample roll of 400f that Aaron gave us earlier this year but i liked what i saw. Price is a bit of a factor though.Something like $18.00 Can in these parts.

There is one "feature" about 100F that may not be too well known. It's exposure range is 1/4000 - 128 seconds WITHOUT any exposure compensation. The feature of some tungsten film in a daylight emulsion - truly fantastic. In addition, it is lower contrast with a wider latitude which makes it perfect for scanning.

Here in Italy is about 10 Euro/USD (eh,eh) and 100F 105 Euros a 30' reel while the roll is around 6-6,50. If you consider the Sensia is currently sold in 3-pack for 10 Euro (3.33 apiece) the Pro solutions make sense only if you really need them. Last lines: I have to say the first reel of 100F I shot really impressed me. Good colors and not as saturated as the Sensia's one so it's good even for people. Very fine grain (and I had some 20x30" made from a few of my shots). HTH, Flavio - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Fuji Provia F and Ektachrome 100VS are both more subtle than Velvia. Yet both are quite saturated and brilliant. I prefer the Kodak.

Hi Dave, I've been a Velvia user since its introduction. In the past the results I could obtain from that film were not to my expectations. More than excessively saturated, the colours were unreal... I tink there was some kind of problem about its compatibility with some processing labs. Now I like it a lot and it's my film of choice when I travel. What I still do not like about it is its excessive tendency to let the shadows go completely black if you underexpose. It's not the kind of film I like to use in a bright sunny day, even if its speed makes this statement a sort of nonsense... When I discovered the Provia 100F, though, I thought I had found MY slide film. The colours are more 'real' and the contrast is a lot more manageable. Its colour rendition is so neutral that compared to the Velvia it seems a bit (a tiny bit) dull. I use extensively the Provia 100F in 120 format, for paid assignments, when I shot in mixed light conditions (I mean very mixed: daylight plus flashlight plus neon light...): that's where it is really unbeatable. I really like its ability to keep a lot of detail in the shadows. Hope this helps.

Re: OT: Fuji Provia 100F vs Velvia ? Comments ?
David, I lean toward the hater side, I suppose. Actually, it is more that I think it is a great film when the colors lose saturation (usually due to diffused or low light), to bring things back to normal. What I don't like is when it is used when the colors are already saturated and punchy. Then the results look too unreal. If you are a chrome shooter, Velvia is one to keep in the bag and use when the situation is right. Provia 100F or Agfa RSX 100 are both much better general purpose films. I think you would really like both of them. Provia is slightly lower contrast than RSX but great color. Try them both and see if you can pick a clear winner for you.
