Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / November 2006The (possible) Return of Velvia 50!!!
>From West Coast Imaging's monthly newsletter: Velvia 50 May Return! There may be some light at the end of the tunnel for photographers who rely on Velvia 50. A press release from Fuji UK promises a spring 2007 reintroduction of this famous film. Many photographers who used Velvia 50 were disappointed with the results from the new Velvia 100. Velvia 100 is a very different film than Velvia 50, offering less exposure latitude and different color characteristics. Despite the prevalence of dSLRs, many fine-art and landscape photographers continue to use film with medium and large format cameras, due to their superior resolution and flexibility. The return of Velvia 50 would be welcome news for film photographers. > >From West Coast Imaging's monthly newsletter: > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > cameras, due to their superior resolution and flexibility.

Could the re-introduction of Kodak's Ektar/Royal Gold 25 be next??? (Hello 1989!!!) :-) I'd settle for Kodachrome 100 ;-) Heck, I'd even "settle for" the original Elite 100 -Yum!!! >> >From West Coast Imaging's monthly newsletter: >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >1989!!!) :-) I'd settle for Kodachrome 100 ;-) Heck, I'd even "settle >for" the original Elite 100 -Yum!!! Heck, I'm much easier to please. I'd be thrilled with Supra 100 or Impressa 50. RP© > >> >From West Coast Imaging's monthly newsletter: > >> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > RP© Is that the Agfa?

Sadly, those have also been discontinued. This time I was ready (somewhat).... I have 50 rolls of Agfa in the freezer. RP© >Heck, I'm much easier to please.

The faulty Monk was turned out into the desert where it could believe what it liked, including the idea that it had been hard done by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make. -- Douglas Adams in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency > (. . .) Could the re-introduction of Kodak's Ektar/Royal Gold 25 be next??? Boy, that'd be a kick! I *loved* that stuff! I even have a big display-size box, just as a memento. >>From West Coast Imaging's monthly newsletter: > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > cameras, due to their superior resolution and flexibility.

Colors are rich and vibrant and I doubt that anyone could tell the difference between 100 and 50 by just looking at the slides on a light table. I still have half a dozen Velvia 50 in 135 and a couple in 120 in the freezer...

I would hate to have to use plain American cheese. SignatureMichael | "He's dead, Jim." |
