Velvia produce much larger contrast when pushed one stop. If you expect to shoot wildlife under low-contrast light conditions, then pushing Velvia can be a good idea. Especially if you already have a pile of it in the bag. It produces a bit more grain than the ISO100 competitors like Provia 100F and Kodak E100VS, but it's still less graint than, say Elitechrome 200. In bright light, contrast can be hard to control. I haven't checked, but from recent experience with macro shots I would guess that the film latitude is narrowed about 1/2 stop. Jostein http://oksne.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan K.
