I've yet to try either. I've been using Sensia (super cheap!), and getting colors like I remember I saw them - which is pretty good for a film, though it isn't exciting. Back in High School I loved using Kodachrome - those reds and yellows!
Carlos that slide you shot was wonderful, and the colors seemed very real.

I also liked the Velvia 50 and I used it if I wished saturated colors for the slides, however my preferred slide film is the Fuji Provia 100 RDPIII, it's a very well balanced film; BTW the news about the Velvia 50 and the substitute raw material are good news, but like someone wrote previously, we'll see if Fuji had success replacing the raw materiales for the film in practical use.- All the best Carlos --- Jim Brick <jim@xxxxxxxxx> escribió:At 08:48 AM 12/15/2006 -0300, Carlos Manuel Freaza wrote:This photograph was taken last summer (11 monthsago),using the 3.5F Planar and Fuji Velvia 100 slidefilm,the film replacing the Velvia 50.Fortunately, Velvia 100's replacement of Velvia 50 is short lived. Fuji is re-introducing Velvia 50 this coming spring. Awhile back, when I said that Velvia 50 was 'my' film, someone said that the 'new' Velvia 50 would be different as it uses different 'raw' materials. Fuji's response is: "As a result, Fujifilm research and development teams have developed substitute raw materials and new manufacturing technologies that enable the company to restart production of Velvia 50. The new film is expected to be available in late spring 2007. The characteristics of the new emulsion will mirror that of the previous product." Fuji says that the new product will mirror the previous product. So besides not only being able to photographically not tell the difference between the old and the new, does this mean that I have to flop the transparency in order to print it right-way-around? ;-) :-) Jim --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list__________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!
