I want to eventually standardize on one or two color films.
I now have Fuji Velvia 50, Velvia 100, Provia 100, 160C and 160S. I have been using asa 100 on my Velvia 100 in the past and the transparencies look good to me. I use an old digital Pentax spotmeter and meter all zones in the scene and generally open 1.5 to 2 stops from zone VIII depending in the situation. I see that some of you advise asa 125 for the Fuji 160 film? I have never used color negative film in 4x5 size. I was planning to try my Minolta incident meter for the negative film.
I have only been refrigerating the Velvia in the past. I also froze some T-Max 100 for a year and just took a few photos recently. Everything seemed fine with it.
Thanks, Steve
