Thanks Howard, I'll give them a go, I suspect that sensia is the film I used
last time (it was the cheapest) so I'd say that in my hands it didn't have
much latitude but I did only try one roll!

Fuji's website says that for Provia no exposure or colour adjustment is
necessary up to 128s exposure but beyond that some colour adjustment is
necessary and +1/3 of a stop. Have you found this working with these films
and pinhole? And have you done longer exposures in the 8 mins plus range
where they "don't recommend use"?
