Yeah, the first time getting back some transparencies with this camera is fun. One question, why rate positive ISO 50 film at ISO 40? I would go the other way and underexpose it slightly by rating the film at ISO 64 or more. -Brendan --- J and K Messervy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A few people

To my mind, Velvia looks better when shot at ISO 40. It's so oversaturated to begin with, It gets blocky and cartoonish with less exposure and more density. It also becomes more difficult to scan. Paul On Nov 18, 2006, at 3:58 AM, Brendan MacRae wrote: Yeah, the first time getting back some

Ok. I've shot maybe two rolls of 120 in Velvia 50. Interesting. I thought most folks wouldn't want to overexpose slide film but, then again, rating the film at ISO 40 is just barely overexposing it anyway. I'll try it the next time I shoot some. -Brendan --- Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A few people told me that I'd be blown away when I finally got some colour transparencies deveoloped from the P67. Well, I shot two and a bit rolls of Velvia 50 in Sydney on Sunday night, Monday morning andWOW! Under the 8X magnifying loupe I bought, the detail, sharpness and colour are
