    Fresnel for 4x5

    I want to buy a fresnel for a Zone VI 4x5 camera. Does it matter what kind I get or should any fresnel made for a 4x5 camera work? Does glass or plastic matter?

    Fuji Velvia 50 vs. Velvia 100

    How many of you guys have used both ISO 50 and ISO 100 (not 100-F) Fuji Velvia films? I was wondering how they compared to each as far as grain and color are concerned.

    Thanks
