I've never seen Provia 400 but I doubt it is the same film as 400F. Provia
400F uses the same emulsion technology as Provia 100F which is the finest
grained transparency film currently on the market AFAIK. I've tried one
roll of 400F and the grain seemed quite acceptable to me. Nothing like the
invisible grain of 100F of course.

I'd expect that, but it's reducing apparent grain I'm really after. Superia
400 is OK, and I don't think Supra 400 is worth the higher price in
comparison.
