Details

Provia 100F [RDP III] was developed to replace Provia 100 [RDP II] and Provia 400X [RXP] was developed to replace Provia 400F [RHP III],^[6] improving on color image storage permanence and color fading resistance.^[5] Provia has less saturated colors and contrast compared to Velvia.

Provia 100F [RDP III] is available in 135 and 120 formats, as well as 100-foot (30 m) rolls and various sheet sizes. Provia 400X was only available in 135 and 120 formats prior to discontinuation.^[4][5]

Both films have the ability to be pushed/pulled from −1/2 stop to +2 stops.^[4][5] Provia is also a favored film for cross processing.

Neither film requires reciprocity compensation between 1/4000 sec and one minute, with Provia 100F [RDP III] able to last up to two minutes.^[4] These longer times make the films particularly suitable for multiple exposures.

Provia 400X [RXP] used what Fuji film described as Epitaxial Sigma Crystal (ESC) technology to achieve a granularity of RMS11.^[5]
