    Great new possibilities open for our photography. Astronomy will see great use of this film too, among other fields. Good news!

    Isn't this kinda old news?

    There is no word on a 4x5 version yet, so it's pretty useless to me.

    Why would one even want Provia 400 in LF sizes?

    When shooting star trails with landscape. It's nice being able to stop down to get better DOF, without all the stars going dark because of reciprocity failure. Provia 400 would be good for any kind of low-light situation though. The longer film has to be exposed, the greated the chance of vibrations or color shifts.

    "Why would one even want Provia 400 in LF sizes?" In architecture photography, very dark space (churches with available light) for. ex.

    I guess they just get a kick out of it. Or a PR stunt.
