Achal- Thanks for letting me know this. I have actually been using Provia 100F, and I just not super thrilled with it. I just want some more color saturation like the photos on Ami Vitale's site: www.amivitale.com. I know she is using mostly digital now, but I am just not getting this kind of saturation. I am not doing portraits, so I don't necessarily want acurate color. I actually want vivid, shocking color and sharpness. I am also shooting black and whites for more realism.

Probably less vivid in colors (but still pretty vivid as compared to say provia), but as sharp as earlier version. But you want to do people photographs with Velvia? Obviously, you have more experience, but I have never heard people doing it regularly. Try few rolls of Provia instead. cheers, achal Achal Pashine, Ph.D. Pediatric Immunology Center for Clinical Sciences Research, Room 2120 269 Campus Drive Stanford, CA 94305-5164 >>
