filmscanners: Provia 400F (was: Supra 400 shadows)

[Paul Chefurka <Paul_Chefurka@pmc-sierra.com>]

Well, here's a rave review of 400F.  I'm totally overwhelmed by this film.  
It's got good colour fidelity, natural saturation, moderate contrast, fine 
grain - it's the best 400 speed colour film out there IMO. It frankly doesn't 
come up that short in comparison to 100F, either.

Also IMO it's going to become the Tri-X of slide films.  Higher praise than 
that I cannot give.

Paul

I have heard some horrible reviews of this film.  Of course, it will surely 
come up short if comparing it to Provia 100F.  I'd love to open up my world 2 
stops in a "decent" manner.
