RE: [APML] New Image: Omega Centauri with AP130

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@zoominternet.net>]

Hi Bobby,
Thanks for the nice words.  I am shooting the Provia 400 right out of
the box.  I think the grain is very close to that with the RG200. I am
really surprised at the recording power of this film.  The comet shots
convinced me of this.  I got a lot of signal with a 15 minute exposure
at f8!  RG200 and Provia are by far the best films regarding grain that
I have worked with in my short tenure in the hobby.  Of course, Provia
has the advantage of medium format availability and no hypering needed.
I really like the RG200 as well.  The Provia has been extremely easy to
work with digitally.  Very clean and even.  The comet shot has some
unevenness do to the extreme pushing I did on curves to get as much out
of the comet as I could.  Two good films right now.
