I'll have to try it when I get back to my friendly film lab in Queensland.
Push or pull processing on slide film seems dangerous when slide film
exposure latitude is so narrow (but yes I understand the processing is
supposed to commpensate).  It would be interesting if Provia 100F could be
made more scanner friendly.
