Just to second a few things that P�l said, Provia 100F is an incredibly low-contrast slide film with very fine grain. If you are looking for saturation, it is the worst possible choice. Provia 400F is also pretty low contrast, but not as much as the 100F, and also it is fabulously fine-grained for a 400 ISO film. It is quite useable pushed one stop, if you find yourself needing an 800 ISO slide film. I loved Fujichrome Astia, but I cannot tell you if Sensia II is the same emulsion or not. Unlike the Fuji Press 800/Superia 800 thing, Sensia II has a different product code and edge marking from Astia. Also, Sensia II is not available in 120. I miss Astia in 120...*sniff*... I've never shot E100VS personally, but I see a lot of it come through the lab. It is very saturated, like Velvia. If that's what you're looking for, it'll do the job. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
