from Tenno Summary: One of the best films for a kind of job.
You must keep in mind that this is an "outdoor" film.
This isn't an all-in-wonder film.
Best for outdoor, worst for others. Strengths: In my opinion the best you can get for landscapes and macro shots. "Disney" colors; I maybe wrong, but this is the only film I've ever used and gave back the nature's colors as I've seen. On my own opinion. So I have to say the saturation is perfect.
Sharp. Tack sharp, combined with a good lens.
Grain: do not think a lot, the RMS 9 and 8 are so close to each other, you won't notice the difference. Even when it is compared to Fuji's new jewel, the Astia 100F, (RMS 7) you can tell only one difference between the two: on the Astia there are people. Weaknesses: No, this is NOT: flesh tones are the worst you can get.
"Not well suited for portraits" - be sure, it is NEVER intended to be. If you shoot portraits there's the Astia for you, neither of the Velvias.
The film turns everyone's face and skin into red, sometimes adding various spots what are never existed before. If you can't afford to change film and don't want to miss a shot, set it to ISO 40 for better skin tones. Setting to 64 incrases the saturation a little, but visible.
Not cheap; Similar Products Used: Velvia 100F, Astia 100 and 100F (altough these aren't similar except the Fuji mark)
Provia 100F. (and 400F, too) Customer Service: For why?
(note this is the 101th review to this film. This could mean something, isn'it?)
