Fuji Velvia 50 Mk II

[Harley Goldman]

I shoot Velvia 100 straight up and it works fine for me. The old 50 I shot at 40 and was happy with the results.

I would very much agree on the colors with the new 100. I hate the way it treats reds. I like the Velvia look, but the reds are so far over the top that sometimes shots are almost unsalvagable.

Did you ever do an outdoor shots where you did Velvia 50, Velvia 100, and Velvia 100F of the same scene? That is where the difference really jumped out. In soft light not so much but in magic hour/sunset light is where Velvia 50 has yet to be equalled for me at least)

I did some images in wonderful sunset light. If you look at the 100F by itself and you would say it was nice. Look at the 100 alone and you said nice. Compare 100 to 100F and the 100 looks warmer but both looked nice. However when I got to the Velvia 50 it was way better than either 100 or 100F. It was warm and "glowed". It was the WOW image. So while neither 100 is bad I think 50 is just better.

At 3pm not sure anyone is better than another, but at sunset/sunrise light the 50 is hard to beat.

Here is to hoping the new 50 has that same quality.

Is there any lab developing 11X14 E-6?

I have the new Velvia in hand thanks to Dirk and Megaperls. Now that we have sun and the beginnings of Spring in Northern New England I will start shooting it side-by-side with the last of the old Velvia which I have been saving for the test. Good idea to also test against Velvia 100 too.

A full article will be in the July-August View Camera and I will post a couple of images here ... likely late next week.

I have shot a couple of rolls of it, vs Velvia 100 and old Velvia 50. I need to spend some more time with it, but initially I am very pleased. It seems to be very very close to the old Velvia 50.

When I get my scanner repaired I can post a couple of shots if anyone is interested.

I have a box of the new Velvia in 4x5 here already, but have not had a chance to use it yet. Its on my list of things to do in the next couple of weeks, but I still have several boxes of the old velvia on ice.
