Fuji Provia 400F is indeed amazing. I read a report on it in Outdoor Photographer in which the writer claimed he left some slides on a light table for a couple of days and when he came back he had to take the slides out of the mounts to be sure which were Provia 100 and which were the 400. I took this as typical "let's keep this magazine's advertisers happy" hyperbole...until I tried the stuff myself. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
