$\"Fuji$ <\/p>\n

According to Fuji’s press release<\/a>, the new Provia 400X Professional ISO 400 slide film features:<\/p>\n

Brilliant color reproduction<\/b>: Fujichrome Provia 400X Professional provides new levels of color saturation in ISO 400 class films.<\/p>\n

Ultra-fine grain<\/b>: Fujichrome Provia 400X Professional provides exceptionally fine grain for a 400 speed color reversal film (RMS: 11).<\/p>\n

Rich tone reproduction<\/b>: Fujichrome Provia 400X Professional produces smooth and continuous gradation from highlights to shadows, providing pleasing skin tone reproduction.<\/p>\n

Improved color image stability<\/b>: Fujichrome Provia 400X incorporates new-generation color couplers for significantly improved long-term color image stability (anti-fading characteristics) compared to current 400 speed color reversal films.<\/p>\n

(end quote)<\/p>\n

Also mentioned in the Provia 400X brochure<\/a> (PDF) is "minimal change in color intensity and tonality throughout the -1\/2 stop to +2 stop range (EI 280-1600), and extending even to +3 stops (EI 3200) in certain conditions." Nice!<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to see what this stuff does when cross processed and pushed. I like to use crossed and pushed Provia 400F for pinhole work on overcast days, but it does get insanely grainy. Hopefully this will be a little less severe. (I actually like its grain-the-size-of-boulders characteristics, but it’s nice to have a choice.)<\/p>\n

With all this strife for film companies and product lines of late, it’s nice to see new stuff coming out!<\/p>\n

Provia 400X will be available in 135-36 and 120 formats. The film code appears to be RXP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
