In my outdoor/nature photography, in order of preference, depending on need:
Velvia - my default @ 50 When needing a little more speed - Velvia @ 100 (I get push processing @ no extra cost.) I've shot Provia F 100 but it costs me more than Velvia pushed, but I find the results acceptable. For more speed I prefer Provia F 400. Haven't pushed this yet, but I'm hoping to try some of this @ 800 this winter. I normally get all my film from B+H. Velvia under $5/roll, Provia F 100 slightly more expensive, ditto Provia F 400.
