    Velvia FTW

    I had shot with Velvia 50 before and loved it. So someone offered me a roll of Velvia 100F, so I thought I'd give it a go. I'm pretty impressed with the results.

    Cool shots. I really like that second one. I've used a lot of Velvia 100F, and only one roll of the new Velvia 50, so far. 100F seems cooler to me, and I have trouble getting the colors to scan accurately, but for certain applications it is very nice. I think I like 50 more overall, but I still have a few rolls of 100F to use up. 50 is warmer, seems more accurate to me, is still very saturated, and I have better luck scanning it.

    Looking good Alex, I particularly like the second shot

    Paul, it's interesting that you say the 50 seems more accurate. I haven't shot either but, from the examples I have seen, the 100F seems more accurate to me. Granted it is hard to tell what shots online are straight, accurate scans and what has had adjustments. Have any shots you could post for comparison's sake?
