I know folks who do this and it may have made sense when Velvia was first instroduced, but there are plenty of good ISO 100 emulsions out there.
Kodak E100S and Provia are two of them. Agfa RSX II 100 is another. I lean towards the Kodak emulsion because it pushes up the colors slightly, but not to the extreme. E100VS is also a good film, with the exaggerated colors similar to Velvia - but you can sometimes get unrealistic colors and loose some of the finer aspects of the coloration. - MCC At 10:46 PM 3/3/02 -0600, you wrote: >So, I'm off to florida in a few weeks to visit some of the more interesting >wildlife spots.
