Obviously a target shot "in studio" will be different what you'll encounter in the wilds but it does give a good reference point. 4-5 stops is closer to what I have found to be usable dynamic range of RVP50. If you were fortunate to have access to a drum scanner you might be able to push that a little more.

Look forward to seeing the results of your comparisons.

Wow, that helps a lot! I've got a box of 100 I've almost shot up and a box of 50 on the way. I'm planning on shooting a few scenes with both plus Ektar and Provia for comparison. I'll post here when done to keep the thread updated.

Anyone know the EV range of any of these? From Ben Horne (don't remember his username on here) 50 is roughly +\- 2. V100 and provia are supposed to be higher, but I can't find numbers. I ask because I use a Pentax digital and try to keep the scene within 4 EV and meter to keep the hi lights, but it would be nice to know how far the film can hold.

Tony Thanks for a great video. Your video helped me understand a lot of stuff I didn't know about using this film. I've shot 120 Velvia 50 (mainly) and some Velvia 100 over the years in 120 6x7 format. I like 50 better but that could be because I shot it longer. Alan.

Tony, that is a HUGE help, thank you very much for that! Also you were one of 4 YouTube channels I watched many videos of that finally convinced me to make the dive into Large Format, you were the last one I had not seen on this board too. You channel has been very beneficial to me in a number of ways, thank you.
