Provia is a brandname for a pair of daylight-balanced color reversal films (slide film) produced by the Japanese film company Fujifilm. It is available in two speeds: 100/21° marketed as Fujichrome Provia 100F Professional [RDP III],[1][2] and 400/27° marketed as Fujichrome Provia 400X Professional [RXP].[1][3]
Provia 100F [RDP III] was developed to replace Provia 100 [RDP II] and Provia 400X [RXP] was developed to replace Provia 400F [RHP III],[4] improving on colour image storage permanence and colour fading resistance.[3] Provia has less saturated colors and contrast compared to Velvia.
Both films are available in 135 and 120 formats. In addition, Provia 100F [RDP III] is available in 100 feet (30 m) rolls and various sheet sizes.[2][3]
Both films have the ability to be pushed/pulled from -1/2 stop to +2 stops.[2][3] 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.[2] These longer times make the films particularly suitable for multiple exposures.
Provia 400X [RXP] uses what Fujifilm describes as Epitaxial Sigma Crystal (ESC) technology to achieve a granularity of RMS11.[3]
