BTW
When changing films I recently did a shot of the same (outstandingly
boring) subject to compare Sensia 100 and Provia 100F.
I also noticed an obvious magenta shift with the Sensia.
The scene includes blue sky, green trees, a red car and yellowish
sand/dirt.
The magenta/red shift was most clearly visible in the dirt which seems
way more natural with the Provia.
I can put the images on my webpage if anybody thinks this may be
interesting (it´s not a scientific test).

It's good to hear from you, Jochen!
I notice color predominance in films as a result of scanning as much as
anything. I use Silverfast, which seems to render the color palette even in
Auto-Adjust mode without reorganizing colors as significantly as Vuescan
does in White Balance mode or Auto. In other words, the scan ends up
looking more like the slide on the light bench, for good or ill (permitting
of course lots of post-scan adjustments to one's taste).
I've noted that my present favorite fast slide film, Pro Ektachrome E200,
always has a cool blue-magenta bias which typically needs a little warming
up. Auto levels or auto curves adjustments often transform the color
palette in bizarre ways, and one loses the characteristic "look" of the
film, though sometimes the appearance is "better." I wonder about all this
as I ponder the day when an all digital system removes these flavors that
different films provide.
