I am not really happy Provia F 100...there is a tendency to magenta in
shadows ...
But, Winsor, you don't understand. That's to make it look like Kodachrome.
Well, you are braver, or more foolhardy, than I. I was afraid to say
that it looks a lot like Kodachrome that I tried to learn to like
back when Kodak still did the processing. When they lost the second
roll of film I moved on.
I haven't tried Agfa in a few years, and probably should again. I used to
use the old CT18 process 64 speed a lot, much better that the E4 Kodak
films. It had an unusual warm, almost earth-toned rendition for landscapes.
I will give it another chance, as soon as I make an order with B&H, as it is
apparently outlawed in Kansas.

I used Agfa CT18 for many years before drifting to Fuji. The new
stuff is cooler and more neutral, but seems to pick up the color if
it is there. The whites and grays are so damned clean though. It can
be had here locally if you call a 25 mile drive into LA as local.
But it is nearly twice the cost of ordering it from B&H. The B&H
mailers are fine for processing.
