Also Velvia 100, Velvia 100F, Astia 100F.
What`s the difference between these?

[Eric Leppanen]

What`s the difference between these?Astia 100F provides neutral colors and relatively low contrast. Velvia 100 is arguably a 100 speed version of Velvia 50, albeit with some differences in color palette, reciprocity and possibly contrast; it is a high contrast, super saturated film. Velvia 100F falls between Provia and Velvia in terms of color saturation and contrast; it was originally intended to replace Velvia 50 but was not saturated enough to fulfill that role.

Do a search for these films here of the LF forum and you'll find lot of discussions about them. The APUG forums are also a good place for additional information.

Ken Rockwell is controversial but his opinions on the various Velvias are listed here:

http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/velvia100f.htmVelvia 50 was highly regarded by many well known landscape photographers, but I never cared much for it. If Velvia 100 is close to Velvia 50, then I will not bother with it. I might try the Velvia 100F in 35mm to see if I like it along with Provia and E100GX before buying 8x10 sheets.

If you need a film to deal with a large range in light levels, Fuji Pro 160 is a great film. The grain is not a problem in 4x5, so in 8x10...

Astia is also very good, very sharp, great reciprocity, slightly less saturated than Provia.

My favorite Fuji transparency film is Provia.

[Keith Tapscott.]

Fuji 160S negative and Provia positive films will be on my short list.
Thanks Ron, Eric and Gene for replying.
