I just can't fault Provia in any way.  My favorite film for a
combination of true colors, saturation, and resolvement.
And I'm not going to fault the Pentax-A 55/2.8 lens either,
which was used for these shots.
No "post processing" except that I did some minor USM in
two of the shots.
Slightly sharpened, otherwise straight out of the camera

Yes, it was the COLORS that are consistently blowing me away with Provia! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you Attila, as well!

Hah Tobias! That's just what my wife said, "Why the heck
are you shooting CARS, Larry? Where's the natural beauty
you seem to covet?" 
I just told her "Oh, I'm checking my lenses to see if they
pick up the chrome in a realistic style." She just looked at
me with that "I don't believe that for a minute" look...
So, I changed the subject and asked her if she minded me
buying the black and silver 57 Chevy Bel-Air that was for
sale - only $56,000 and a bargain at that. I'm SURE you
know her response to that.

I'm holding out for the Mustang GT500....actually I really AM holding that in my mind, hope to get one in a few years. Things can certainly change, but for now it is a coveted item.  Hey...you only live once!

Beautiful, crisp photos. Is that from a Pentax 645? I'm seriously tempted to get one of those to clamp on to my Pentacon Six lenses, but I don't know whether the extra for the 645N would be money well-spent.
