Whats provia 400 good for (guessing its a bit grainy) colour wise, a film better suited to landscapes or portraits?

7 day shop are selling 5 packs of 120 for 6 quid

If you want to shoot dark scenes and use push processing, this is the slide film to get!

I'd buy if I had the cash, but I've already blown this month's film budget

That's what overdrafts are for Mike Well spotted David I'll have me some of that action at those prices.

 

[david1701]

I'll probably buy a pack (maybe 2), problem is I need to buy some chems for it too :O

 

[dizidav]

Never tried slides, at this price ill have a go.


Dave.

 

[david1701]

[ekimeno]

Must... resist... ah damn, too late. CC is on fire this month.

 

[dizidav]

WAy to go David, wonder how quick these guys post things out, Would be nice to get them tomorrow, could run one through the Salut.

It's usually been 3-4 working days from placing order to it landing on my doormat for in-stock items - it's got to get onto the mainland from Guernsey then go through the normal postal system.

ive ordered some of this as we are approaching the dark nights of winter, how far can you push 400X?, hope it stores well, ordered 80 rolls

 

[david1701]

80 :O

I just ordered one pack as an experiment - never used slide before

also got a pair of extra backs winging there way here

 

[blinkerz]

80 should last me years, doubt it will be that price again

 

[david1701]

smooth

dropped 60 quid on MF stuff today so thats enough for me

I think 800 comfortably, 1600 at the outside. motionid uses it, so now I do too

 

[blinkerz]

il have to get the e6 chemical kit, sending away is expensive.. and with push processing costs on top would be silly prices..

 

[dizidav]

Looks like i'm going to have to buy more kit, so I can DIY it.

 

[kreuzberg]

Just bought a pack to try some out, at that price it would be rude not to!

 

[blinkerz]

ive never tried any slide out yet, but its sods law il find it great and it will then cost a bomb to use.. so decided to buy while its at a very good price.. i think its the only 400 slide out there aswell?

 

[ekimeno]

I've used Ektachrome 400, but out of date so couldn't tell you how good (or bad) it was

 

[ekimeno]

There's some interesting examples of Provia 400X pushed here

 

[blinkerz]

cheers ekimeno, 1600 looks very usable.. 3200 looks really bad... im thinking 120 film should hold up better though??
