    Low reciprocity Sheet Film?

    Am I right in saying that the only low reciprocity sheet film on the market is Fuji Provia 100F?

    When it comes to reciprocity failure compensation, don't trust the published data (as with development times themselves) run your own tests. I overexposed many negatives made on TXP before I tested and found no loss of speed out to one minute.

    Apples mixed with oranges here. Are you inquiring about color film (e.g.,Provia, which you mentioned) or black and white film? If you can still locate any, Fuji ACROS was by far the best b&w option; but in terms of what is still in production, look at TMax.

    I was curious about *any* low reciprocity failure sheet film. TMax looks like the best for b&w and almost on par with Provia 100f.

    Delta 100 also compares well to the T Max films

    Is your Delta 100 comparison from your own tests? From literature spec sheets, Tmax would still be better than Delta100. However, I shoot more Ilford than I do Kodak, so I'll take a look at delta100, as well.

    If one needs a touch more contrast, long exposures and reciprocity failure are our friends!

    I use the same "revised" Delta 100 recommendations for T-Max 100 and they both seem fine with the same data.
