Great greens!! Wide exposure latitude.

I found it to be a little soft in contrast. I shot a picture of a group of Blue Jays on a feeder among some evergreens and it has a soft look to it, almost like a soft focus filter. My lens was clean and the picture is focused, so that wasn''t the problem.

I''ve used the old Provia for awhile and thought it worked very well and was cheaper then Velvia.

Agfa slide film, (cheap 8 dollar stuff) but it has great contrast.

Close to the colours of Kodachrome 25/64. Short development time compared to KR25/64.

Light gray shroud when no sunshine present or in darker conditions. Less contrast.

Very fine grain. Exact colours.

Tightest Grain of any color film - End of story! (at the moment, of course) Very usable color pallette with plenty of color saturation without going loony (not insane like Velvia) Pushes very well (2 full stops!) Better lattitude than nearly any slide I have used.

Really none! It has that Fuji look to it, but I find that this film takes well to manipulation via push effects and filtration.

This film is now my default for all color work. It is nearly as easy to work with as print films. The grain will fool the most advid Med-format user out of the fact that it was shot on 35mm! However, you really need the extra chrome when a lot of gradiants are desired. Regardless, this film is sharp! Did a long fashion shoot in less than perfect lighting. I pushed the film two full stops with little color shift! The Astia I shot, only pushed one, looked much worse. Due to the lattitude I use it for landscapes as well after blowing out skies with Velvia (have to have graduated ND w/ Velvia) What can I say - this is the cutting edge of film!

Never had to use. Web site is helpful - but no AGFAnet.com!

It records the subject the way it was seen with the eye. The color and contrast of this film is unrivaled. Skin tone is recorded perfectly without the magenta cast that Fuji has been traditionally known for in previous emulsions.

Absolutely none.

What a film! I wonder how many people really know how fabulous this film is. This is the most perfect film in terms of its absolutely incredible color rendition, Sharpness, contrast, and virtual grainlessness.

Very poor. You can never get a rep. and yet, believe it or not, I use their film!--I''m crazy.

All kodak color products. I no longer use them because their color palette does not appeal to me.

Faster than Velvia with more muted colors. If you need a film that is more subtle and lower contrast than velvia, and don't mind a tad more grain, this is a great choice.

It is noticably grainier than Velvia or the new RDPIII formula. I would favor the latter for most situations, although the RDPII's color pallate is softer.

Upstaged by Provia F in terms of image sharpness, but not totally displaced. Its color balance is a bit different.

A nice film for 100ASA. good color rendition

Lacking the pizaz of some of the other Fuji Films. Not that much different from the cheaper Sensia 100

A solid film, I prefer it to Elitechrome 100, but find it quite similar to Sensia 100. Not sure its worth the extra money for the pro film. (though I am excited to try the new 100F (RDPIII)

I've shot it only with strobes in the studio or on location making slides of flat art and sculpture. With a little cc filtering it gives great color with my strobes (at least the artists I serve like it). I find no visibly significant variations in color rendition from batch to batch.

None so far

Although my use of the film is probably not what it was designed for, it works fine.

It's a really nice film. It has very good saturation, color rendition is true enough & it is faster than Velvia.

It is a little too sharp on some colors. Harsh may be a better word. Although I liked it, I think for truer renditions of colors at the same speed, I would go with Astia. The only problem Astia has in nature photography, is it tends to lack the "pop" of Velvia. But, for skin tones & sharpness of image, Astia is hard to beat.

It's a good film overall. Although, the new Provia 100F will address some of this film's weaknesses. It is a touch grainer ... the new Provia 100F isn't. And they say the 100F film handles contrast better ... much closer to Velvia than the old Provia 100.

I have been using Velvia and Provia 100 F for nature and flower photography. I find Velvia works best with landscapes and white against sky subjects. Provia, I feel, is better for flowers and the extra speed is helpful for monopod and hand held work. Provia has, for my taste, a more refined and cooler presentation than Kodachrome. In comparing older Kodachrome 25 slides, I find Provia sharper and better in the cooler shades of color, especially blue. Provia has become my slide film of choice with the exception of using Velvia for landscapes.

In my opinion Provia 100-F is the best slide film currently available. The extremely fine grain makes this film an excellent choice for publishing. 100-F also push-processes well, with very little loss of detail at +1 stop, though significant loss at +2 stops. 100-F is not particularly contrasty, but when pushed to +2 becomes very contrasty and blue tones saturate.

Like most Fuji films, warm tones are not as vivid as cool tones, so a warming filter is a good idea. A polarizer will likely enahnce the rich blues (especially a clear sky), and the result isn't always to my tastes.

Because this is a high-quality film, it has a high-end price tag: around $5.00 per roll, and buying 100-ft rolls to load your own canisters doesn't save much money.

But the excellent detail and the film's ability to forgive a mistake or two make it worthwhile.
