I have a question for you; in most of yours E-mail I can read about your
love for the
But Velvia is just another thing!!!!!! Too much high contrast, green
shadows, heavy colors.....
were is the hi-fi of this film?
Giorgio,
I like Kodak Ektachrome 100SW, myself. I don't know if it's the best
available today, but on those occasions when I'm called upon to provide
color, this is what I use, and it always delivers the results! It does have
a distinct "look", however--bit of a golden glow to it, but with clean
whites and blues.
Velvia can look really bad in open shade conditions, as I've had it go
very blue on me, and I generally don't much care for this look.
