Nice museum items, but why pushing this nice slide? I wonder...

Because it can be done, I guess?
We've seen a number of examples here in the past of how far Provia can push, and to be honest, I find it very impressive. I would love to have the time and/or energy to do some of the same.
More, please!

The photos are taken at a local antique shop. They have a lot of old cameras there too.
I actually like the texture (grain) and contrast you get by pusing the film. It makes the photos look old and dreamy (to me).

I know about slides in C41 process, but push the roll. Interesting

Nice; I didn't know you could push Provia this much.
I should shoot a roll and see, I'm very curious about the results from an expired roll.

This makes me feel like I really misused the 15 rolls of Provia I once had... And the furthest I went with them was just one stop! 
Time to search for this film again...
Thanks for posting your scans!  |

Wow, it still looks very good at 1600. Thanks for the demo.

How would this Provia 400X compare to R-D1 or M8 at ISO 1600 and ISO 3200? I am thinking the digital's should be better? Anyway, I kinda like the effects at ISO 1600, but the grain and detail loss at ISO 3200 is too much -- I think. My fastest lens is 50mm f2.0 Hexanon. May be I should have a faster lens as well.

Digital should be better, if you measure just the amount of noise or grain. I just happen to think that the ISO 1600 pictures are different from digital in a very positive way. This test proves is that modern color slile film is quite usable still at ISO 1600 and can produce very pleasent results. |

I just love this photo. I am getting ready to shot a wedding for a friend (I am not official photog) and was planning to get a flash for my Mamiya 7ii. But, since I can push this film to ISO 1600 and get nice looking results, I will remain flashless!!!

Thanks for posting! Any grain reduction used when scanning? Or multiple pass scanning?

I've pushed Provia 400F to 1600 with very nice results, but never tried 3 stops. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to dig up this thread, but how are people pushing this film? Let the lab do it?
If anyone is doing at-home E6, what would be the change in times to push to 800/1600/3200? Unlike other slide films, Fuji's own website says that this is a good film to push - some recent examples I've seen online, and I tend to agree.

I tried pushing 400X twice .. It always came back looking underexposed.
I guess my lab is cheating me, i.e. charging a lot for the push process and don't really do it. When I expose for 400 it looks fine, so I'd rule out a metering error.
this is actually a reason to do DIY E6. hmmmm .. I guess I'll stick with underexposed portra 400 (new) or portra 800. way cheaper, but I have to admit the 1600 push of 400X looks great!

I got a load of Provia 400X fresh and Provia 400F (RHP III) expired 2005. I want to make some exposures in a hall that is dark. My question refers to two situations:
a. Which one of the films is better for push if the 400 F were fresh?
b. Which one is better to push in the actual situation, 400F being expired and the other fresh?

Fresh film would always push better. 2005 is granny age for 400 ISO color; don't push grannies!
