50 ASA might be a little too slow, since I don't want to carry a tripod 
around most of the time. Also, I have heard that Velvia doesn't render 
skin tones nicely. Although, I mainly don't add people into the frame, 
it should be possible without nasty colors on the face :).

Wow, 9,95EUR on foto-brenner.de. (Local stores around here tend to ask 
approx 0,50EUR more than this online-store.) And I already think that 
films over 5EUR are expensive! :) (My "standard" is APX100 @ 3,20EUR)

I'm leaning towards Provia 100 F atm, on foto-brenner it sells at 6,95EUR.

Thanks,
