Christian and all,
I'm not ashamed to say I love Velvia and its saturated colors.
Are French Impressionist paintings, such as those of Seurat or Dufy,
as examples, with all their intense colors gaudy?
I don't think so.
Photography, to me, is like painting with light.
The different film choices

There is already... it's called Sony colour, as dpreview.com referred to
it. :) I've never seen colours as gaudy as from the 707, not even on
Velveeta.

I would like a repeat of 'the Provia talk'. Why shoot at 320 and 100 instead
of the rated speeds, and, more importantly, why would Kodak lie?

Hi,
people's choice of film doesn't mean much unless you know what
subjects they're shooting and why they choose their film for it.
My preferred subjects are reportage / travel / street photography.
Over the last couple of years I've been shooting mainly black white
while here in the UK, and
I assume you mean the Portra talk? I usually try films at different speeds,
because sometimes the rated ISO doesn't result in a negative that scans well or
prints to my satisfaction. It's just a matter of pleasing one's individual
taste. Rating Portra 400VC at 320 overexposes it by less than half

I don't know what the subjects look like in reality, but the

Hi Christian
I shoot all sorts of film :-)
I burn through more E100S than anything else - it's got good color
reproduction an is saturated and yet reasonably accurate. Next would be
E100VS - exaggerated colors that, IMO, can be quite inaccurate. Velvia
rated at ISO 40 would come next - the colors are
13 matches
