When Velvia first came out, I tried a roll or two. As it happened, I caught a scene that sold well. Resolution was impressive, but the color tones, gosh. I recall the agony of instruction to the pro-lab each time I needed a print. "..and get rid of the burgundy/purple soil and rocks..etc. and knock down that frozen-pea grass color.." Was a relief when I later applied PS and burned a disc with colors that didn't make me nauseous. Pumped colors are one thing, but the Velvia world is another spectrum.
While not intrigued to shoot it (I don't do slides *at all*), I am very curious to see a characteristic sample, if one is available.
TIA, Kostas
