This is the film that I have settled on as the very best for what I like to do. I've started using it for nearly everything, since it seems to do better on people than Velvia 100F being less saturated/boosted/contrasty but equally sharp. I was thinking of Sensia 100. As you say, for the indoors shot you must have had awful lighting. Did anyone shoot with an M8 perhaps? Brian? Sonny? Interesting to see the comparison. I was actually mainly looking at the outdoors shot. Not fair to make a judgement on one shot, I guess. These are scanned from Provia 100F. Just family stuff. The lighting is indoors during daylight, so predominantly available window light, perhaps it has negated the indoor lights. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/F2/Mina+Toes.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/F2/J8.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/F2/J4.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/F2/J6.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/F2/J10.jpg.html> Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of GREG LORENZO Sent: Wednesday, 13 June 2007 13:49 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: RE: [Leica] IMG: Lugites in Santa Fe, April 2007 Actually it was Provia 100F slide film. This film really does not like mixed indoor lighting and I don't like trying to colour correct. This is the downside of bringing just one Leica while on vacation. Greg J.
