[rollei_list] Re: Provia 400X [was: Re: Slide film is still alive]

I wouldn't like to quote the URL for other samples
today due to the group rules, but that one about the
fisherman in the water and the hills in the background
was taken with the 400X too and the contrast looks
very different; the slide you referred was taken under
special light conditions and I looked for a colors
saturation. BTW, f.e.the tint for the blue reflection
on the water seems unnatural but that is the way it
looks in the original too.
Agfa RSX II slide films are great films to obtain
neutral colors.-

All the best
