bscott Posted October 13, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 13, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Which film do you use the new Fuji 50 or new Fuji 100 slide film for nature and landscape photography. I would like to use the 100 for the extra speed but don't want to give up a better film since I always shot on a tripod for this kind of shots.

darkness30 Posted October 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 14, 2008 I used both and I like 50 more however it is impossible to find any in Turkey and I am thinking of quitting photography altogether. Mehmet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehmet Hello Mehmet, where in Turkey are you? I am in Istanbul, and when I can't find something here it's pretty easy to order from the net (bhphoto, adorama, freestyle and so on). Better to use the net than quitting photography! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to use the 100 for the extra speed but don't want to give up a better film since I always shot on a tripod for this kind of shots. I am biased. I have tried Fuji Velvia 50 asa and find the colour too much, especially on skin tones. I have always favoured Kodachrome in it's many incarnations. My absolute favourite was Kodachrome II 25 asa- no longer available in the UK. Then came Kodachrome 64 asa. Still available in the UK and as close to natural colours as I think it is possible to get. Projects well and prints superbly. Brilliant for landscapes. Use with a skylight filter in the mountains- European Alps. Not necessary for mountain shots UK. I also believe Kodachrome is totally sympathetic to Leica optics whereas Fujichrome tends to suit more punchy japanese optics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBA Posted October 15, 2008 Share #5 Posted October 15, 2008 Assuming you're talking about Velvia, I find the 100 easier to expose. The 50 has an extremely narrow exposure latitude and just slight underexposure can result in very high contrast with absolutely black shadows, as I discovered when I shot a few rolls with my SL2 at 64. 100 seems more forgiving.

darkness30 Posted October 15, 2008 Share #6 Posted October 15, 2008 Vieri I am in Ankara and from time to time I visit my mother and father in law in Istanbul. I also bought from B&H but $47 for shipping + $11 for unmounted processing in Turkey is hurting me. At this rate to buy 12 rolls of Kodachrome 64 from Dwaynes sounds a better alternative. They charge $13 shipping for 12 rolls of K64 and $13 shipping for 6 rolls of mounted processing. Turkish customs allows $130 worth of goods including shipping. Above that price is subject to ridicilous laws of customs + Tax. I am missing USA a lot in this respect. I used both Velvia 50, 100 and K64 and I think they are superb for natural things but not for Human photography. I like the saturation of velvia 50 thats all. Provia sounds better for skin tones. Vieri do you live here or just visiting? Mehmet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilerdoc Posted October 15, 2008 Share #7 Posted October 15, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) For skin tones do NOT use Velvia - unless you like ruddy complexions! Use Provia or, better yet, Astia. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
