For me I want a bit more speed. I actually shy away from Velvia (truly an ISO40 not 50 film). For neutral colors I prefer Ektachrome Professional 100 (EPP) or E100S. IMHO, the best neutral coloring is actually rendered by neither Kodak or Fuji films but by Agfa RSX 100. White whites and surprisingly natural skin tones. My other reason for avoiding Kodachrome is that the K-14 process is not widely available anymore.

You are most certainly entitled to your opinion, as are others. I am only pointing that out. Your tone seems to imply that no opinion other than yours is invalid. I hapen to like a "natural" look, so I don't use polarizers either. Ken > > Baloney!
