On a short trip to Bern in Switzerland I exposed two rolls of still available color negative film as well as a roll of expired high ISO slide film. Let me take you on a stroll through this beautiful city!
During day time I started with a Fujicolor 200 Color-Negative film which I expected to yield reasonably neutral colors and that was indeed the case.
One of the bridges to the city – a main attraction – was sadly under construction.
After the Fujicolor 200 I chose a Kodak Pro Image 100 which I already liked when developed in the common C-41 process.
There is a lot of well preserved historic architecture to be found in Bern. There are many cellar stores and bars which are rather unique to this town.
We also caught a small street market with local grocery offerings.
Of course there were also some motives to be found for my collections of bikes and fire hydrants.
Towards the evening I loaded a roll of rare Provia 400x, an ISO 400 slide film which long went out of production.
I first went to some interesting artsy district just out of town where you could still find DVD players.
Then afterwards I was shooting in the dark with the Provia 400x – and this was probably the last chance I got to do this with a slide film.
Bern is definitely worth a visit, highly recommended for a few days.

Pro image 100 in ecn2 looks amazing, envious you got to shoot some provia 400 it’s beautiful.
Only thanks to my readers I got the chanec to shoot Provia 400!
I like the ProImage colors best. All of the films yield somewhat muted tones, lower contrast. Do you think it is inherrent to those emulsions or is that more development influenced? Those two negative films were fresh, weren’t they?
