Last summer I shot my first roll of slide film, Fujifilm Provia 100 in 135 format in my Leica M6 TTL, below are a couple of my favourite shots. The film was shot at box speed and metering was done using the M6’s built in meter, exposure seems to me to be pretty spot on. I don’t think the scans do the actual slides justice, the colours are much more vibrant when backlit. Maybe if they were scanned using a pro lab scanner, they would look even better, but they still look pretty good. I definitely want to shoot more slide film in the future, unfortunately it’s not the cheapest film at around £10 a roll, but luckily I have 10 rolls of expired Kodak Ektachrome Elite 100 that I got for free in the freezer that I can shoot. I’d also like to try some slide film in 120 format in my Yashica 124g, medium format slides I imagine would be amazing.

Good shots. The colours are great. Have you tried Agfa Precisa CT100? It is rebadged Provia at £5 a roll. I tried some last summer and really liked it.
Thank you, the colours you get from slide film are great aren’t they. I haven’t tried the Agfa yet, I’ve seen it selling on Amazon and have been meaning to buy some, I think I will for this summer. I have some expired Ektachrome in the freezer to shoot too.
Very nice. I love Provia that I am thinking of making it my primary shooting stock.
It is nice, I’d like to shoot more but at £10 a roll it’s quite expensive.
