Hand processing velvia 50 and provia 100

[marcsv]

I've only tried processing reversals once, and that was 10 years ago. I'd like to try it again. I have a test roll of velvia 50 and provia 100 ready. can anyone give me the development times for the two emulsions.

E6 is E6. Whatever your chemicals call for.

I use the 7min 30secs first dev, and the sheet times for everything else.
Good luck!

IIRC, the Kodak E-6 kit I've got in my darkroom specifies a "6-7 minutes" time for the first developer. I've seen claims by some that Fuji slide films work better at longer first developer times than Kodak slide films require, so I've been using 7 minutes for my Velvia, with good results.

Jobo used to claim that Fuji's older films needed longer times but that the newer ones didn't. Of course that was when Jobo USA existed

Use 6mins 30 if you rated provia at ISO100 and Velvia 50 at ISO 40. Otherwise you will need to give more.
