Under the label Fujichrome, Fujifilm is still selling several types of slide film and one of those is Velvia 100. Let’s have a look at some pictures taken with this film under varying conditions.
Processing (E-6) and scanning (Noritsu) was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany.
After having used Velvia 100, Provia 100F and Velvia 100, I have to say Velvia 100 is my least favorite of them, but why is that the case?
First I found the exposure latitude of this Velvia to not exactly be great, meaning I didn’t find it suitable for high contrast scenes. As you can see from some of the samples, in high contrast scenes you may even have both, blown out highlights and blacks without any details, at the same time. Therefore I find it more suitable for shooting low contrast scenes.
Colors were also a bit unpredictable. Some may call them vivid, personally I found them a bit weird. While I was told this film produces nice colors at night, with ISO 100 you are limited to tripod work here and I didn’t get to try that. If I get another roll, that is what I will try next.
