Yuriy, That's a good shot for Velvia. My take on Velvia is that for a lot of folks it produces overly saturated colors. For me, I think it works well for many different subjects but likely not the best choice for portraits. Having said that, I know that many fashion photogs have used it for effect when going for a little extra "punch."
I tend to go with the Provia F over Velvia nowadays. It actually has finer grain than the old Velvia (I can't speak to the new Velvia) and it's a full stop faster. I think it works better for landscapes because its colors seem a bit more natural. In any event, they are both great films and nearly grainless when exposed properly. Virtually all of my medium format transparencies are made from one or the other of these stocks. -Brendan --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > > May be this will be interesting for who still shot > film. > > I just tried the new Velvia 50 (RVP 50).
