I shoot Provia 95owadays. When you see a blowup of it (for me, scanning at 4000dpi and enlarge in Photoshop) and see practically no grain, it's all worth it! This will teach you so much about your camera's metering system...

Of course now we aew going to have Velvia 100F. Yummm.....


Yeah, my respect for Provia keeps growing as I use it more and more. I love Velvia, but Provia's the "general-purpose" slide film for me now. It's particularly nice with skin tones -- neutral, no oversaturation, and crisp. All of which can be judiciously manipulated digitally, too.

Now the new Velvia -- I'm buying a brick of the stuff as soon as it arrives in Edmonton, and I'll spend the next week happily searching for and shooting subjects that benefit from its saturation.
