[filmscanners] RE: Best 35mm slide film?

["Bernie Kubiak" <bkubs@comcast.net>]

Ed, you're the second person in a week who's told me that Astia 100F
is a great outdoor film, so I can see a trend shaping up here.  I'll
try it & see.

John notes "But I have not tried to have a 60"X40" made from a slide
scanned on the SS4000."  I wouldn't either!  I've got a couple of
slides that will be headed to the Slideprinter shortly because I think
they might merit some serious enlargement.

Bernie

Fuji Provia 100F is what I use most and the 400 speed Provia is
excellent as well.

That's been my choice for several years but this year I have decided
to make
Astia 100F my standard, with Velvia 100F as my second, "punchy"
alternative.
The extremely fine grain and rich shadow and highlight detail of this
new Astia
suggests it is a great outdoor film, especially for contrasty
situations. It
also scans better than Velvia or Provia, with no cast (apparently).
