Hello, May be this will be interesting for who still shot film.
I just tried the new Velvia 50 (RVP 50). Actually, I have to say that I did not shoot any "old" or "classic" Velvia as I could not find it. I'm very pleased with the results. It is easy to scan this film on my Nikon Coolscan V ED. What I actually found that in some aspects it is easier to work with the scans in PS as with the digital images captured by my DS. Especially I like photos with the lot of bright reds and yellows. It is hard for me to capture such photos by the DS - this bright colors usually lose a lot of tones. As for the Velvia, I like its colours and contrast. And I was suprised by its little grain. I print one of the photo without any retushing especially without removing grain. On the 20x30 (cm) photo it is very hard to find the grain! But on the monitor it can be seen. One of the example (may be not the best for me) is hear: http://not.contaxg.com/document.php?id=19477&full=1 I don't know if somebody still shoot film. If so, it would be very interesting to talk to such photographers.
