How they look
- Elite Chrome 400 (EL)
- High-speed daylight slide film with enhanced colour saturation for action, handheld telephoto and low-light use, part of Kodak's Select Series. Kodak's January 1998 sheet describes fine grain and high sharpness.
- Fujichrome Provia 400F (RHP III)
- Professional ISO 400 daylight slide film that Fujifilm said had the finest grain and sharpness of any ISO 400 slide film, with ISO 100-class colour. Fujifilm gives good results from -1/2 to +3 stops (EI 280 to 3200). Replaced by Provia 400X.
