  1. Re: Color Correction Filters - Necessary for E6 Scanning Workflow?

    I shoot mainly Velvia 50 and Astia 100F. Have some Kodak E100G coming soon that I can't wait to try. Shot Provia 100F in the past but it has a yellow cast I don't care for too much. Anyway I shoot...

    Re: Fuji Velvia 50

    I love Velvia 50 but I agree 100% that it can look like cartoon gel at times. I have been shooting it long enough that if I think I might get that look with the film I also bring along some Astia...

    Re: Fuji Velvia 50

    I never understood the myth that Velvia Films are hard to expose correctly. As long as you know your meter the film is easy to expose. Most of the pictures I take are scouted before hand and I...
  4. Re: Stupid Velvia 50 question - worth developing?

    I find that Velvia 50 works fine in the 4-5 sec before doing crazy color shifts. When I shoot Dawn and Dusk shots in the mountains I always use a KR3 filter and will also use a KR6 when I get one....

  8. Re: Rodenstock VS Fuji VS Schneider VS Nikon, Um who cares

    Well to go so far as to say it may have caused me problems is going a bit far. I'm just saying the differences are there but they are small. Stuff you really ain't going to notice at first glance and...
  9. Re: Rodenstock VS Fuji VS Schneider VS Nikon, Um who cares

    My Fuji 300 8.5 C definitely is a strong contrast lens, which I don't really mind in a long lens. The Nikon 360 8 tele is not too bad though, and actually probably needs to be underexposed by 1/3 of...
  10. Re: Rodenstock VS Fuji VS Schneider VS Nikon, Um who cares

    Re: velvia

    IMO Velvia 100 sucks. It is less sharp than the 50, has a bad magenta cast and just looks odd on most scenes. I have shot 50 vs 100 side by side and always prefer the 50. I have a few shots on 6x7...

    Looks like your core is very close to what I have decided on. If I were to do a 3 lens trip backpacking or day hiking a new area I would do 90;150;300 or 90;210;300 and take the Visualizer to take...
