[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]In 30 years of photography, I have probably shot about 10 rolls of slide film. I am considering switching over to slides now, and am looking for advice on what is out there. I understand the exposure latitude is much narrower than the color negative films I have been using for most of my shhoting. I use old Leica screw mount cameras, and have become fairly good at exposure estimation, but I do have meters I could use. However I do prefer the ease of just shooting, without have to dig out another piece of equipment. Most of the pictures I take are outdoors, of nature shoots, both landscape and closeups of wild flowers, etc. I would appreciate recommendations for slide films to try that will give me the exposure latitude and realistic color saturation. This switch to slides was brought on by seeing some of the slides fellow LUG mewmber, Robert Stevens got while he was visiting here the last 2 weeks. We spent a couple of days out shooting nature, and the Calgary Stampede together, with Robert's M's and R cameras. It was great to meet him, and get out shooting. Thanks for any help. Noel Charchuk
