Strength:

Sharp, fine grained, excellent color.

Weakness:

None.

This film sounds the death knell for Provia II, my film of choice for a while. It's everything the old version was, only better. If you shoot in the daylight, or can use flash, use this film.

Model Reviewed: PROVIA 100F (RDPIII)

Strength:

Very, very fine grain. color saturation like Velvia at a faster speed.

Weakness:

A bit pricy but if you buy the 20 roll propack it comes to about $5.50 per roll.

I just shot a roll of my aquarium with a 90mm macro. The images were extremely sharp. I have been using Provia 2 almost exclusevly for about 5-6 years now until I discoverd this. This will be my first choice from now on.

Strength:

It goes from 0 to WOW in a press of a button. I shot my first roll of 35mm Provia and was not expecting the results that it produced...absolutely beautiful.

Weakness:

The cost, but hey, if that's the price I must pay for quality, then so be it.

The bottom line is, as with any product, if you want quality, spend the money and buy it, if you dont, buy your film at Walmart.

Oh, God!! If there was a magic pill that could turn your current camera into a Leica or medium format monster, this is it.

Vs. Kodak Elite Chrome, which has noted flaws of its own, the grain of this film is so smooth and tiny under a 8x
loupe, you'd have to make it a mission to find them, and even then, you'd have to take some more time to ask yourself if it even matters. Not at all like Kodak Elite Chrome where you can easily see the grain big and clumpy, esp. in shadow and underexposed areas.
--
Combined, the pluses of this film results in noticably better (crisper, smoother, sharper) pictures vs. other 100 speed films and it's almost like switching over to a Leica lens or medium format. (Not exactly, since a Leica or MF will always be much, much sharper in resolution on film, but it will make your camera produce noticable sharper/crisper images and let your current lenses run at their maximum capabilities.)
--
(Yes, I've taken the exact same image setup the exact same way with this and other films - 100 speed Elite Chrome, 400 & 800 speed print film Fuji NGH II, Kodak Max, etc. -- and none are better at making this shot the very best it can be.

Weakness:

It keeps running out at the local stores, waah! Gotta order more from Adorama...

This baby grinds out smooooth, crisp photos. Never will you think of going back to other 100 speed slide films, nor would you want to, after this film has done its wonders in your camera and turned it into a Leica (almost ;). Picture after picture, this baby continues to amaze - absolute PRoZAc for your camera.

Strength:

Very fine grain and beautiful color saturation.

Weakness:

A little expensive locally, but you can usually get a good price via mail.

I used Provia 100F in 120 format, and the results were spectacular. I enlarged one frame to 16x20 and the picture was still beautifully sharp. I'm running through a roll of 35mm Provia, and I have no doubt it will be great as well.

Model Reviewed: PROVIA 100F (RDPIII)

Strength:

Faster than Velvia for any shots I need other than landscapes. Can be pushed two stops(ISO 400), and maintains virtually invisible grain, even against a bluish/black sun-fading sky.

Weakness:

None at all

Not quite up to Velvia standards for pure color saturation, but for everything other than landscapes(wildlife and people in my case), nothing comes close. The fine grain, even when pushed up to 2 stops and blown up to 8x10 after scanning is truly a surreal experience. With film like this coming out of Fuji, I am afraid my home country's Kodak is going to continue to lose the battle.

The older Provia 100-never was very impressed, but it was the best ISO 100 slide out there.

Strength:

Nice greens.

Weakness:

Don't like it as well as KR 25/64. Lacks the punch

I know what all the reviews are saying, a British photo mag rates it tops. However,
just getting back from a Ruta Maya trip to Guatemala, to my tastes, I liked the
Kodachrome 25/64 better. They seemed to have more punch, particularly in the reds.
The people slides definitely were better with Kodachrome, the archaeology ones were
a close tie, with KR getting the nod. It's less expensive than Kodachrome.

Strength:

Excellent Color Reproduction, maybe a tad on the supersaturation which helped make some of my flash photos have more definition instead of everyone just having white faces :)

Weakness:

Just as grainy as Sensia II despite the 3.00 difference in price. I wouldn't enlarge a properly exposed slide to anything more than 8X12.

Hmm, Well, I have only used two three types of 100 slide but It is definately good for bright sunny usage or heavy flash (like canon 550ex)just like they say but if you do any low light photos be prepared for some grainyness! but it has a really cool rendition of blues, they skies when used with a polarizer are wonderful!

Customer Service

Were relatively fast took them a week, kodak took 2 and a half when I had questions.

Strength:

Very fine grain.
Smooth tones.
Quite low contrast.
Colours not over the top.

Weakness:

None realy. I have noticed a green tinge to slides not seen with other Fuji film.

As a ship photographer, this is a very good slide film. I prefer the colour balance of "normal" Provia. I find the grey in warships is more green with Provia F than original Provia.

Strength:

Exceptional sharpness when properly processed. Fine grain. Excellent color rendition. I have switched to this film as my standard from E100S.

Weakness:

Color punch is lower than the Velvia or E100VS but very accurate.

My first choice in all-around slide film. I was slow to convert to E-6 from Kodachrome but this film is hard to beat. Holds up well under push processing. If you have a great lab, you will not be dissapointed.

Never used.
