Hi Billy, I used 120 Velvia 50. The images were made with a Hassy, 40mm lens and a polarizer. The images were scanned without manipulation. Anything else you would like to know? I love talking camera.
I like velvia 50 :thumbsup:Hi, this was taken while on an ice walk on the Athabasca Glacier, Columbia Icefield.
love this pic :lovegrin:
on velvia again? hmmmm .... gonna break the bank to get a few rolls :think: :sweatsm:
Yup!
Seems like there are several others on this forum that have selected Velvia 50 as their film of choice too. I had contemplated getting 220 Velvia 50 for my last trip but had read that fogging was a potential issue, and that certain labs would damage the 13th frame hence decided to stick with 120 even though the lab charged the same price for 120 and 220 processing. In the end it costs me US$15 for a roll of 120 plus processing. I used to send my film to Ruby and they did it for so much less. 
If you haven't tried it, I recommend you do. It just blew me away the first time I used it.

Velvia seems to be doing the trick for your current adventures.
Do check out the new ektar's performance. Cheaper to process too
Hi Neoro, yes, Velvia 50 certainly IS doing the trick. The blues are so saturated, almost makes you feel like you're cheating.
Here's one of St Andrew's Cathedral taken on a rare bright sunny day with no clouds in the background. Metered to put the building at zone 7 and the sky ended up between zones 5 and 6. It was a regular Singapore afternoon with pastel blue skies but look at what came out. This image was taken with a 40mm lens and NO polarizer. Shot it straight and scanned it with no manipulation. This result from Velvia 50 is very consistent and predictable. If you can place the sky between zones 5 and 6, you can be pretty sure you'll end up with images like this. At least this is what I have experienced so far.With regard to Ektar, I might just do that. I know Reala in 120 has been discontinued, but has anyone managed to make a quantitative or qualitative assessment of Ektar vs Reala? Reala used to be my negative film of choice.

You can try using a Raynox-250 Diopter infront of your 80mm - Cheap alternative to macro. Be careful with the depth of field though...
Very cute dog, If only he/she knew the value of that shot made on slide

Hi plsoong, where are you at? Autumn in Idaho is not in the least bit spectacular.
If you were in Virginia, North Carolina or Pennsylvania you would be in the perfect place to capture the Autumn colours.An 80mm will do just fine, just stand a little further back!
I do have a prism finder but I don't particularly fancy using it. There's something magical to me about the waist level finder.
My camera has a built in spot meter that's pretty accurate so that's what I've been using.- Status
