Re: [APML] Provia 400F

Dominic,

The Sensia 400 and Provia 400F definitely do not have the same astrophoto results. I enjoy using a loop and lightboard to look at the astrophoto results I get with Provia 400F. When I use my film scanner to scan anything (both daytime and astrophotos) with Provia 400F, I rarely adjust the colors. If it would help, I can post some raw scans in my website...let me know.

Thanks Chriss :)

More I dig and more I find answers :) but other questions go up ;)

I took this text on Jerry Lodriguss website :

" Fujichrome Provia 400F RHP III Pro - A color transparency film for slides with an ISO of 400 that can be push processed to higher speeds with good results. Excellent blue sensitivity, very good red sensitivity. Fuji's consumer version of this film, Sensia 400, now seems to have very close spectral sensitivity curves to the 400F RHP, so it may be a good lower-cost alternative."

If I look to the image took by my friend Jean with the Sensia 400

Yes the nebula are red but the background is too red for me , I saw the original and it's very near of this image ! Should I expect the same result with provia 400F ? I know it's "easy" to adjust the BG but I like the instantaneous good result :)

Thanks for your feedback !

Dom :)

Don’t think it matters much. The US film is stored in and shipped in a controlled environment, where as the imported “grey” film is not, I’ve used both and have never seen any difference, though if your delivery area is in a hot zone, like the desert, you wouldn’t want your film to be left at you door in a package all day baking in the sun and heat. Whenever I do shoots for clients (not astro) I always use US film as I can’t afford to find a color shift after the fact. The little extra is a small price to pay for guarantying an accurate color.

I’ve always had good luck and good shots with every roll of Provia 400F US or import for what it’s worth, great low grain high speed transparency film.
