I shot gardens with K64 in Kyoto, and the colors were *dire* relative to the same scenes shot with Velvia: muddy, with a distinct green-brown bias. Reds were dull. It does seem about as sharp as Provia F -- perhaps not quite -- but I vastly prefer the color balance in the new Provia, if I'm seeking neutrality. For saturation, I'll shoot Velvia or E100VS. I intend to take some K64 out in Manhattan, to see whether it's just the bucolic stuff that it mangles, but I really don't like it much. (Is K25 much different?) Douglas Cooper
