Fuji is one of the most famous Japanese global brands - and along with Eastman Kodak - dominated the film photography market for most of the 20th century. However the dawn of digital photography put significant strain on it's operations and it has restructured itself (and part-merged with Xerox) around a more diverse set of industries such as digital press, computer systems, and photocopying services. It's focus on traditional film has waned (giving rise to the nickname "FujiNOTfilm") - discontinuing several lines which has caused understandable upset among loyal users and planning to cut several more. However their creation and innovation of the Fuji Instax system (the most popular instant photography format today) means they will remain relevant to analogue photography for many years to come.

I love shooting this film in 120 and getting back the huge gorgeous slides to look at - the colours are amazing without going overboard. The detail you can get with this film and a good lens is also stunning. If you're looking for a transparency film for medium format give it a try!
Provia 100F is my first choice when looking to capture landscapes with a more natural palette than Velvia. It is still on the saturated side, but with less exaggerated reds and greens than Velvia. The grain is incredibly fine, becoming essentially invisible in 120 at reasonable enlargements. Like most colour slide films, the latitude is limited; exposures need to be accurate, and use of a spot meter and the zone system can help to ensure that your scene's dynamic range does not exceed that of the film. When the exposure and scene selection are appropriate. however, the results can be astounding. Although slide film is not usually the first medium that comes to mind for portraits, the skin tones are somewhat more natural than Velvia as well. Overall, an excellent film that can produce unmatched results, as long as the photographer works within its capabilities!
The sample image was captured with a Rolleiflex 2.8F, at an ambient temperature of -19 degrees Celsius; evidently the cold isn't an issue for it either.
I really like this film. I've been struggling with colour for a while. It can be difficult to replicate what you saw, and some colour films exaggerate certain tones or over-saturate.
I've been a long time shooter of Portra 160 as that was the closest to "neutral" I could find, but still - balancing the colour after development could be tricky and I found I was always tweaking things in Lightroom to get it looking just right.
Shooting slide film removes that issue and for a neutral toned slide in 120, Provia is pretty much your only choice. Velvia has too much saturation for my liking and Provia is perfect straight out of the box. Tjose medium format slides look gorgeous too.
I didn't have any difficulty with exposure, using an auto-everything Pentax 645n and letting the meter make the decisions. I had a lot of trouble with Velvia 50 under-exposing, but Provia seems to actually like living at 100 ISO and my images were bob on.
A great film that simply delivers "what you see" with no fancy frills. Sharp, detailed and colourful. Just what I wanted.

This is an absolutely fantastic slide film which has very punchy and vibrant colours, especially blues and greens.
The only thing in my eyes that lets this film down is the recent price increase!
Provia can be pushed a stop no problem. Works ways better in sunnier, brighter conditions than on duller days, or perhaps in a studio environment indoors.
I’ll be leaving reviews throughout the website with pictures for full frame scans, so if you’re like me who loves to see the entire image and border, you can see what the results will be like.
This is the film I reach for whenever I want the most amazing detail. To my eye, it is the best slide film remaining that is still available in 2019. I use it a lot for both landscapes and even nighttime city scapes as it has an amazing ~120 seconds before reciprocity failure applies (allbeit, you have to watch for colour casting).
In well lit conditions, the results are outstanding, and I even find it pleasing for portraiture too. I've never attempted home development or scanning of it and I've always trusted that to the lab that I use. The results are always outstanding.
It's also the most expensive slide film currently available which makes me use it sparingly. But when you get the results on a lighttable, there is nothing like it. I recently got a 30" square print produced (sample picture provided of the sunset with boats) from a 120 negative, and it was simply mind blowing.
