Hi again, Bob:
Thanks for posting the film info. Looks like you got better results with the
Provia 400F than with the NPZ. That's just what happened to my Provia vs
Supra 800 and Centuria 800. I don't understand this, but I'm glad that
someone else had the same experience I had. Maybe it's in the scanning,
although I can see the meteor better on my Provia shot than on the negative
shots.
