[pure-silver] Re: Provia and filters; was: Re: Re: Venturing into color...

I pretty much always use a polarizer with slide film - for me, Velvia 50. I have some Provia 100F but seldom use it. Landscapes & Velvia 50 are a match made in heaven! A polarizer is useful for far more than just deepening the blue of a sky, It makes foliage look like it is supposed to by removing the reflected blue from the sky. Basically keeping the flora & fauna colors true. Plus, you can always dial it back to the neutral position if you want to shoot without polarization help. I might as well weld a polarizer to my lenses since I take very few photographs without it. Even with B&W film.

Also throw a few rolls of slides in there too. I like Provia 100F and Velvia but there are lots of options there too. Its not hard anymore to get prints from slides so that problem isn't a big deal anymore.
When I go to Death Valley, I'll be bring along some Provia 100F and 400F. Are there any recommendations that can be made concerning useful filters for shooting slides? 

Cheers,
