Tom, Provia is the name of the game in my opinion. I've shot it in everything from full sun to fog to twilight and it always comes through. No exaggerated colors, either. I now shoot about 50% Provia, 40% Kodachrome 25, and 10% Velvia. Provia has very good reciprocity characteristics making it excellent for night time exposures. The nice thing is you can get Fuji mailers from B&H for about 2.99 each or get it done at your local pro lab for a 2 hour turn around. I'll be happy to answer other questions. Shoot Provia at 100 ASA, no need to underexpose for good color. It can tolerate a bit of overexposure. Good in snow, too!
