P3D Re: kodachrome vs provia f

[Todd Eifert <stereoshooter@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tried the Provia F as a possible replacement for Kodachrome 64 and
found it to have a terrible color shift on the red side.  The provia
has a finer grain, but under identical shooting circumstances (indoor
with bare bulb flash), the provia is lacking in color range.  I had a
model wearing denim on blue satin sheets.  The Kodachrome matched up
nicely to what was in the room.  The sheets where pale light blue, the
denim a faded medium blue.  With the provia, the blues looked almost
identical.  Both were over saturated.  Also, the skin tones of the
model, a deep brown Asian skin tone, looked very reddish with the
Provia F.  Needless to say, I won't be shooting the Provia again.
