RE: reciprocity failure velvia film

I've been using Provia 100 with good results for pinhole (4 seconds to 8
seconds usually), as Provia shows remarkably little reciprocity failure.
When I originally researched it, the technical specifications for Provia
showed it to be much better than Velvia. Provia is also scans very well.

Cheers,
David Oliver
