I was concerned about the possible high contrast with black skin and bright sun, but the Provia 100F turned out to be great. I didn't process it any differently than other E-6 films but the contrast is much less than Velvia or even the earlier Provia. All of the Kenya photos on this page are on Provia 100F: http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/Photo%20of%20Week/photo.htm Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
