Hi Mishka, Often a highly saturated film lacks subtle detail in the super-saturated areas, much like winding the saturation up in a digital image, detail can be obfuscated. De-saturation can't restore the lost information, I prefer to scan lower contrast films myself even if the scanner has a good dynamic range.

Re: Re: slide film
My favorites are the Agfa RSX series. Ektachromes are okay, but I definitely don't care for Velvia. Colors appear too vivid and false for my tastes.

Provia 400 is expensive though.

Not that cartoonist. :) I'm actually looking for something with the ultra vivid colours. I recently picked up a roll of Velvia, but haven't bothered to try it yet. I was hoping a polarizer would enhance this, am I wrong? Can someone make some suggestions for additional film that would help bring out those sort of saturated colours?

Agfa Ultra 50 was the most saturated print film, but it didn't work for me. Sharpness was low, colour was way off. Velvia is much better imho. If you want something with more realistic colour yet saturated, Kodak E100VS is a good choice. It scans well with my Minolta Scan Elite and the results are more natural than Velvia. I would probably use it more than Velvia in the future. I guess I no longer after the super saturated colour photos anymore. Btw, both are slides. regards, Alan Chan _ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Re: slide film
The only thing I would add to the discussion is that if you bring some E100VS (or Elitechrome Extra Color 100, the lower-priced consumer version), you can use it on overcast days at ISO 200 with a 1-stop push in developing. I did this in Europe last September, and got good color rendition under cloudy conditions. The pictures would have been drab otherwise. Joe - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Re: slide film / print film
One other question on this.Does slide film only come in the slow ASA speeds like 50-100 or do they get into the 200-400 range.
