Obviously the Provia films are slides and the Superia are negs, just to clarify. Provia 400 is a miserable film (also sold as Sensia II 400). It is grainy, has poor color, often shifting very cyan, and is too contrasty in bright light, which is the only way to get decent color out of it, which

Provia 400F is a new beast, and has received very good eviews. I have a few rolls waiting for low light situations, but haven't used them yet. Deservedly so , it behaves just like the 100F with very fine grain , just 2 stops faster.. I've had a magazine cover published with a pic shot

I recently had my Minolta Dual II replaced by Minolta, after only owning it a week. The second one has lower noise in the shadow areas than the first. The first had a lot of green noise in the dense areas (on slides) which I noted lessened quite a bit using Vuescan. I haven't tested the new

I've become quite fond of Provia 100F. It is sharp as a tack and a joy to scan. Of course it does suffer in the exposure latitude department. I'm still using negative films but am shifting more to transparency film based on ease of scanning and the knock your socks off quality of Provia.
