RE: Fine Grain films

["gary" <gsellani@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Technically, it is prove 100F (radii). [There was a plain Prove 100.]  Not
only is it the finest grain color film (transparency or print) at is 100,
but it is finer grained than Velva at is 50. We have discussed this film on
the list in the past, with arguments over it's cast. I think it has a blue
cast, but you will find conflicting stories on the net. It has less of a
cast than Velva, which has a magenta cast. However, the Velva cast is more
pleasing to the eye (ok, my eye). Velva is more saturated than Prove 100F.

At the moment, Prove 100F is the only slide film I shoot. The grain is
tolerable pushed one stop. Pushing it two stops is too grainy. Might as well
shoot 400 speed print film at that point. I've never pull processed Prove
100F.
