Used when appropriate, Velvia is a wonderful film. Just like anything, it's not appropriate for every single photograph out there. Some actual care and thought has to be put into your film - lighting - exposure combination. Velvia on its own is nothing more than a film, not some horrorshow or offensive evil thing. I don't complain that NPZ is flat as hell when I shoot it in flat lighting conditions (though I've seen that complaint about a trillion times on the internet) -- I know that those conditions were inappropriate for that film. -Aaron -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
