A bit of a story on Medium format slide: Someone linked/recommended Fotocasión in Madrid as having
Provia in 120 stocked up (also at former price), in one of these availability threads. I have tracked this a bit the last days, and even Fotoimpex had 120 Provia only in the Berlin store earlier this week and quickly gone.
Being in Spain, I inquired to this store about the status of that Fujichrome. They have a limited supply, and confirmed its scarcity as they expect no restocking anytime soon from the distribution chain; but the batch expiration date is
8/2025.
I have been quite interested in the Fuji situation and am aware of all the pessimistic possibilities about their roll film manufacturing (aka, a mess) but it's quite optimistic to me.
Of course, I purchased some.
Do you use a Skylight-1A filter? I'm trying to decide which warming filter to get.
Years ago I ditched lens cap for UV filter and last summer I got a B+W KR1.5 which is a Skylight filter, low filter factor, IIRC equivalent to Skylight 1B. I have only shot color negative and B&W through that filter, so can't give much of a review. It's multicoated to better than the older Hoya UV I had.
My intention was to get a Tiffen 812, but not much in the European used market, and an "always on" subtle filter seems good to have. After a long time I was surprised how many nuances/Scales of warming filters there are (KR, 81A-C, Tiffen 812).
