        This is one of the only films I use, alongside Fuji Provia 400X and Fuji Neopan 1600.
        Perfect contrast and saturation, wonderful for every situation.
        And on top of that, reciprocity failure doesn't kick in until 2 minutes of exposure. That's awesome.

                The best chrome if you want to achieve the most natural color gamut. Excellent sharpness, colors are vivid but not exaggerated like for Velvia (although I love Velvia for landscapes in a bright sun). The quality and a richness is far above any digital. Provia is one of the reasons why I stay with film for my landscapes.

                      It's sharp, low-grain, and has natural, accurate, and vibrant (without being exagerrated) colors under natural light. The cyan/magenta cast that can be present in Provia 400x is less of an issue at this speed. Handles flash quite well, but less so with incandescent light (though that's not its intended use)

                          I was a die-hard Kodachrome user for years, until it's demise last December. With digital not being a serious option for my situation, I was suggested to try Provia 100F for the closest likeness to Kodachrome 64. In some cases, it is hard to tell the difference between the two films when being projected onto the screen. Although the colors are a little more saturated, Provia 100F makes a smooth transition to my Kodachrome collection.

                            I switched to Fuji Provia 100F from Kodachrome in the 1990's and have never looked back. Even my archival concerns have disappeared as the images are holding up fine. The colors are rich and vibrant, I cannot imagine why anyone would use anything else. My 35mm cameras are now competing for attention with a Sony Digital camera. However, this is the only "analog" film I'd buy for my mostly railroad and scenery shots.

                              There is not much left to choose from in 35mm transparency film. Provia is the best. I was a dedicated Kodachrome user for over 4 decades and never warmed up to Ektachrome, Elite Chrome or Velvia. I did use Agfachrome 50 quite a bit in the early 80s but it is long gone. Provia provides beautiful saturated colors somewhat similar to Kodachrome and does not have the exaggerated "pop" of Velvia. Still, 5 years from now my best guess is in 35mm we will only have Velvia with the others history.

                                Despite my "handle," I shoot 35mm quite a bit, too. I used this film in my Nikon F100 with the 70-200 f/2.8 VRII. It has a nice tonal range and renders skin tones accurately. It also does a good job of capturing bright colors without over-saturating them. This film scans well and 16" x 20" prints from 35 mm slides are very sharp and have very fine grain. This is my "go to" film now that Astia 100F has been discontinued.

                                      I haver been using Provia 100F for my 35 mm analog Leica since the last 15 years now without any unexpected surprise..
                                      Convenient for any amateur or professional with no evidency of grains, accurate colour tones and satisfactory contrast..
                                      To be used comfortably both for portraits with amazing details, saturation and contrast beside landscapes.

                                            I've used a few different slide film varieties, but have found a strong liking for the Provia F slide film. A get consistent colors tones with the film and am very happy with.

                                              When Kodak announced that Kodachrome was being retired, I had to find a new slide film. After trying this out, I found that the skies were bluer than the discontined film and the oranges of fall leaves brighter and without a polarizing filter.

                                                I would eat Provia for breakfast if it weren't so bitter tasting. Those who know, use Provia.

                                                  With Kodak announcing that it would stop producing Kodachrome 64 in 2009 and Dwayne's Photo in Parsons City, Kansas, annoucement that they would stop processing kodachrome 64 at the end of 2010, I've had to look for an alternative slide film as a substitute. I had been using Kodachrome 64 since the early 1970s and this was the end of a page in photographic history. Since the KR finale announcements, I have tried several of the fuji slide films but my favorite has been Provia. The colors of the Provia film seem a little more saturated than Kodachrome 64 which I find quite pleasing. For years I've been using a polarizer filter with Kodachrome 64 which gave me results similar to the Provia film (a lot of people complained that in recent years, kodachrome 64 slides looked flat and I agree, which is why I used a polarizer filter on sunny days, enven though I lost a stop and a half in light, as I thought it was worth it for the gain in color saturation). I particularly like the Nikon versions of polarizer filters with the oversized glass to avoid vignetting). I really wish someone out there would continue to produce kodachrome as I really liked the archival aspect of that film. Can anybody hear me? There are still a lot of serious kodachrome users out there. I'd be willing to pay more for kodachrome film and processing to continue to have it made and developped but for now, Provia will be my new choice.
