I'm fond of Supra 400 and use it a lot. Recently I've also been shooting Provia 100F when there is enough light. These films are apples and oranges but Supra 400 is real 'chunky' compared to the Provia. It is interesting to do a max zoom on a 4000 ppi file from a 35 mm frame to see what the

There is no question that most negative color films are lower contrast and have a wider exposure range than their equivalent speed in slide film. If your scanner/scanner software has good ability to translate the dye masks in negative films, you will get better results overall with negative
