Anyway, I do find it just a bit less saturated than the E100VS or Velvia. Provia 100F is real nice for people and its color is more natural. The last time I shot the two together on the same shoot the Provia looked flat next to the E100VS. The subject was a bluebird flying into its birdhouse. The birdhouse was on a post and had some long strands of dead grass growing up next to it. Sort of a "hay" color. The bluebird and house looked fine in both. The 100VS made the straw more of a orange as opposed to a straw color. I know that sounds garish, but it looked fine on the light table. As I said above it made the Provia look flat. The Provia looked fine alone but next to the 100VS, not as saturated. The oldest Fujichrome I have dates from about 1985 also but it's the Fujichrome 100 and I haven't looked at it for a while. I'll have to dig it out and see how it's faired. Good shootin out there! best, John Fulton >John, > >How do you compare Provia 100F and E100VS? > >I also noted earlier on that you'd shot Fujichrome 50 from its >introduction...how have your slides held up over time?
