What 400ISO slide?

[Kev M]

The only E6 film I've used for portraits is Provia100 which I really like but I've read that when you push it to 400 it can go mushy and soft. I found to mydetriment that ISO100 is a bit limiting this time of year so is there a good E6 film about ISO400 with similar portrait qualities to Portra?

cheers,
Kev

Provia is my usual choice for fast(ish) E6. Much the same as the Fuji 100, a little less punch, a little more grain, all as you'd expect.

Assuming it's still in production. Mines been coming from the freezer for some years now.

just had a look on 7dayshop and the fastest Kodak I could find for 120 film is Kodak Ektachrome E200 - 120 Roll (Single Roll)

The only one I could find which was 400 ISO is Fuji Provia 400X.

I personnaly would not push 100 slide film to 400ISO as I do not think it has the ability to do that. print film yes. slide no.

Have used Provia 400 in 35mm before a long time ago, and it is very Fuji. Don't like it much as I prefer Kodak, but it was an ok film.

Not really much help that was it? :bang:
