Fuji Provia 100F Finer grained than Kodak K40?

[S8 Booster]

Recently I bought a special batch Fuji Provia 100F for S8 and are now examining the specs for the P100F and the K40. Are the Fuji specs comparable to the specs Kodak offers for the K40? Anybody who knows?


Fuji reveals as follows for the P100F: http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartn ... ct=2302805
Fujichrome Provia 100F Professional (RDPIII)
Super-Fine Sigma-Crystal Technology, Micro-Grain Solubility Control Technology,
Unprecedented Granularity of 8
Diffuse rms Granularity value: 8
Micro denstiometer Measurement Aperture: 48um in diameter
Sample density: 1.0 above minimum density

(Fuji spec for the P400F is:
Diffuse rms Granularity value: 15
Micro denstiometer Measurement Aperture: 48um in diameter
Sample density: 1.0 above minimum density.)


Are the Fuji specs comparable to the Kodakchrome K40:

Image Structure

The modulation-transfer curves, the diffuse rms granularity, and the resolving power data were generated from samples of Film 5240 exposed with tungsten light and processed as recommended in Process VNF-1 chemicals. For more information on image-structure characteristics, see KODAK Publication No. H-1, EASTMAN Professional Motion Picture Films.
