Though less specific on the flim type, Velvia you say. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Velviascene.jpg Sure bares that out. Or bears that out. I've used the stuff less than most as we've talked about over the decade. I say I don't like the smell of the stuf when used for grilled cheese sandwiches. Some find that idea "too deep". I kind of liked Astia 100F. E6 Kodachrome as far as I went. I shot way more color neg film than most having sued it so much for PR work. And having a slight preference for 800 over 100. And C prints over R prints. And not caring for making so many 4x5 internegs. Oops I thoght this was off list. Looks like its on list. I guess its ok.
