Try 32 ISO and you should get much more neutral skin tones. That said, Velvia is not the film I would choose for portraits. Moreover, in MY very very humble opinion, Kodak 100 (in its several variations) present less color shift for zone outside of exposure tolerance. All the best, - -- Jean-Claude Berger (jcberger@jcberger.com) Systems and RDBMS consultant (MCSE) Lyon, France http://www.jcberger.com > I've been shooting some Velvia recently for the 50 ASA speed > which is handy > for flash, and I'm wondering what kind of filtration if any people are > using with it. > Not for fluorescent lighting, for instance, but just for eveyday use.
