Fujifilm Provia 100F

The Fujifilm Provia 100F, a renowned slide film on the market, serves as a medium for creating vivid and colourful slides. Introduced as the successor to the RDP II, it is an improved version that provides a clear and detailed reproduction of the images captured. With a sensitivity of ISO 100, this daylight film is known for offering fine grain and detail even in bright light conditions.

The company texts generally describe the colour reproduction of the film as somewhat cooler compared to other slide films on the market. However, regardless of the advertising claims, it is important to consider the many uses of this film. It can be used effectively in a variety of photographic settings, including product photography, where accurate colour reproduction and detail are critical to highlighting the specifics of a product.

In addition, film is also a suitable choice in landscape and nature photography, where the cool colour mood may help to capture natural scenes with a certain aesthetic. It is also used in fashion photography, where the coolness of the colour rendition is often used to create certain fashion statements or atmospheres.

With regard to development, it should be noted that the film can be developed using the E6 process or the CR-56 process. Both processes are equivalent to each other, with the latter being Fujifilm’s specific development process. The availability of the film in different formats – 35mm, 120, 8×10″ and 4×5″ – allows photographers to choose the film according to their specific needs and camera types.

In 2013, the film’s packaging, both 35mm and medium format, underwent a change, which could possibly indicate a strategic repositioning or a change in packaging materials. This could be an adjustment to market trends or environmental standards, with such updates often aimed at enabling consumers to better handle or store the film.

After the Provia 400X was discontinued, it is the last film in the Provia line.
