I've settled on Provia 100F as my standard slide stock. But in the New
Mexico wilderness, including Las Cruces, there is no Provia to be had. So,
when I run out there I have to go to Wal-Mart and buy Sensia. I've usually
got one body with part of a roll still in it - that is how the shuttle shot
came to be on Sensia (of course back then my standard was plain Provia, 100F
wasn't yet out). I don't see much if any difference between Provia and
Sensia, but the 100F pushes two stops beautifully. Some have claimed that
Sensia is the same as the regular Provia.
I used to shoot Kodachrome 64 a lot, but my tastes have changed a little,
there have been problems with the latter Kodachrome stock color and
processing, and my LS-30 scanner doesn't do Kodachrome well at all. Sensia
and Provia are closer to KR than to Velvia.
