I already had a look at Fujichrome Provia 400x and this time we will have a look at its predecessor, Provia 400F, another “half-Tungsten” higher ISO slide film.
Processing (E-6) was done at ProLab in Stuttgart, scanning was done by one of our readers via a DSLR. The pictures you see in this article are from one roll.
The Provia 400x I already had a look at is the improved version of this 400F and was supposed to show less grain.
Having shot both these films I honestly do not see a lot of differences, but they went out of production a long time ago, so if I were able to directly compare two fresh rolls, there could of course be some differences that I cannot see here.
As I knew from my roll of 400x that I liked ths colors it creates under artificial light I chose the local fair for a night out.
My conclusion is the same as it was with the 400x: nice colors under this artificial light but somewhat limited dynamic range – typical for a slide film.
If this film was easily available, I would definitely buy some more rolls…

Provia 400F slide film doesn’t age well. You are lucky to get these colours. Well, in my case it hasn’t faired well. Even under freezer conditions.
Such splendid colors. I wish I could shoot with such a beautiful film.
