I use Fuji Velvia ISO 50 for my landscape photography. However, I
have heard that Fuji is discontinuing Velvia 50. Hence, I have the
following questions:
1. Is it true that Fuji is discontinuing Velvia 50?
That is the case.
2. Does anyone else use Velvia 50?
All the time.
3. Does anyone have a suggested replacement film?
Everyone I deal with suggests Velvia 100. Supposedly the same
performance but a stop faster. I have not yet tried it myself.
I was considering using Agfa RSX II ISO 50 or pulling Velvia 100
once my Velvia 50 freezer stock runs out and I am unable to purchase
anymore. I have had some success with Agfa before, but the Velvia
seemed at least marginally better.
I used Agfa a lot about 20 years ago but after awhile I realised that
their slide films were not colour stable over time. I've shied away
from them ever since. Hopefully they've solved that problem by now.
On the other hand, I have heard that pulling Velvia 100 causes
some color distortions. Any thoughts?
Don't know about pulling Velvia.
