Okay, so this is another what should I do diatribe.. I keep going back and
forth with print and slide film. I have shot velvia and elite chrome 100. I
understand the overly rich color palate of velvia and have used it once. I
actually liked what it did for the caterpiller on the cat-tail picture link
I had posted, although it was warm. I also liked the pics I got from elite
chrome., being the novice I am. Every time I go print film, I'm dissatisfied
with my local Sams Club rendition of my photographic endeavours.Pro
developing shop you say? Almost, non-existent here, overpriced with no
discernable difference from Sams, plus they are closing their doors right
and left. We've lost two since I joined this distinguished group. What is
your favorite general purpose slide film? I see Graham seems to favor Agfa.
Unfortunately, I can't discern whether its his film performance or raw
talent that I am seeing. I believe I'll stick with Velvia 50 for landscape
type shots. I'm considering purchasing a 20 roll pack of film, however.
Velvia seems like fun at the expense of realism. But as a general purpose
film it makes my family appear cartoonish. I read the reviews at
www.photographyreview.com , but I've lurked here long enough to respect your
opinions more. Scanning of the negatives is another consideration, I hold in
high esteem. I have not tried Provia, Sensia, E200, but where is my bang for
the buck? I hate diverting from the digital bandwagon, E-1 and all, but I
want the best quality slide scans also. Help I'm melting......
