Sandy got some in Seattle a week ago and we shot it right away. It's a zinger of a film and without a doubt the finest 400 speed film I've ever seen. It also pushed to 800 very well with no appearance of grain. Very nice "natural looking" colours, not the hyped up Velvia and 100 VS look. Our results were so conclusive we popped for a 100 rolls as soon as it came in the door of the store! And Sandy is off on an assignment to India Wednesday for three weeks taking 80 rolls Provia 400 as her main slide film, backed up with some 100 SW just in case for the appropriate place. Not to mention rolls of B&W. ted Grant Nathan Wajsman wrote: > Hi Tina, > > I cannot locate the P400 photos, I guess I should have looked right when you > posted this.
