Re: Colour slide film latitude

I've used Fuji Sensia 100 in my 35mm (with pinhole) camera with no problems.
I used it outdoors in good light. Exposures were less than 10 seconds if I
remember correctly. I simply used the camera metering through the pinhole
for exposure. Maybe adding a bit of exposure since the meter was getting so
little light. The exposures have always been right on and I haven't noticed
any color shift in the slides at all. The Fuji data guide lists reciprocity
data for Sensia 100 as follows:

up to 16 sec. no compensation or filtration required.

at 32 sec. +1/2 stop compensation, no filtration.

at 2 min +1 stop compensation, 2.5R filtration

Hope this helps. I've never used provia so I don't know how they compare.
