What are the main differences in characteristics between these two
portrait films (other than contrast)? Which film is suitable for which
types of scenes? And why is it that only NPS is available in sheet
form? Pls advise.

Also, for those who've used them in real-life situations, I'd appreciate
your feedback.

NPS is good for scenic work. For conventional prints its very tight grained
but for some reason for me even at 4x5 does not scan real well.

I find NPS to be a good Color Negative representation of Provia 100F so they are a good
match if you shoot transparencies and slide films at the same time.

Isn't transparency another name for a slide film?

Meant to say color negative films and transpencies at the same time.
