Fuji Provias for Pinhole

Tom,

I forgot to mention the tungsten balanced 64t which is also a Provia
family member. Most of my several minute long exposures have been
indoors so the color balance was quite warm because of household
tungsten lighting. It is my impression that the film goes slightly
magenta at some point. I'm never too scientific with my exposures and
color casts don't bother me. Sometimes I cross-process or shoot tungsten
balanced film in daylight just for the look. But as in everything
personal testing under your normal conditions is the answer. I do like
the Provias very much and consider them worth working with for pinhole.

I also use all three films for commercial and editorial lensed
photography. I just bought a couple hundred feet of the Fuji RMS slide
film ans well as brick of 120 from Freestyle. That is the pushable slide
film that has been discontinued. Fuji gave me a few rolls when it came
out and I recall liking it but not seeing a real use for it. I'll report
on my results pinhole and otherwise for those who are interested.
Anybody else using it? Cheers,
Howard Wells
