They compared them to the Panatone colours they had on their system. The signs were a green with white lettering. A good colour for Velvia. I typically don't shoot Velvia and have preferred Kodak films for most of my work until Provia 100F came out. I just ordered my slide film for Paris. I am getting E100VS for the overcast days and Provia 100F for the rest. I have E200 for the night shots with the Noctilux. Below is an image I got in Paris at night last year. It was on E200 and with the Noctilux wide open. The scan doesn't do it justice. I need a scanner with higher Dmax. http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/photography/images/Misc/Paris0002.jpg The rest of my Noctilux stuff is here. http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/photography/Noctilux.htm Regards, Robert At 04:53 PM 3/14/2002 -0500, you wrote: >Velvia is hardly known for its accurate color rendition.

The Velvia 'look' is by now an obnoxious cliché. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
