Fujichrome Velvia 50
Strength:
Rich color, contrasty, fine grain. Great for landscapes, nature, abstracts, naturally-lit home interiors.
Weakness:
None. Just watch for reciprocity failure (get the Fuji data guide to avoid it). This is my favorite daylight slide film. Similar Products Used: None |

Fujichrome Velvia 50
Strength:
Great saturation, sharpness, and grain structure
Weakness:
slow speed! a really beautiful film as long as you don't have people in your images (lousy skin tone!). It's too slow but holds up well with push processing up to about 1 1/2 stops. Similar Products Used: E100VS |

Fujichrome Velvia 50
Strength:
Extremely fine grain, very sharp, great color saturation.
Weakness:
None This is a great, but slow speed color reversal film, for landscapes. I usually shoot it at a setting of 40 versus manufacturer recommendation of 50. This gives me a slightly better color saturation and contrast; however, it makes it slower than it already is. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Agfa RSX 50. |

Fujichrome Velvia 50
Strength:
sharp, reveals lots of detail, images "pop" off of the light box, saturated colors, blacks are very black, can produce images that look three-dimensional
Weakness:
very limited exposure latitude, too slow for most hand-held shots A truly remarkable film that has literally created a new type of outdoor photography. Makes an amateur feel like a professional with such detailed and punchy images. Regrettably, the limited exposure latitude makes it risky to use as an everyday film. While difficult to work with, Velvia has enormous potential in the right hands. You've got to try it at least once. Similar Products Used: Kodachrome 25, Royal Gold 25, Elite II 50 |
