The (possible) Return of Velvia 50!!!
From West Coast Imaging's monthly newsletter:
Velvia 50 May Return! There may be some light at the end of the tunnel for photographers who rely on Velvia 50. A press release from Fuji UK promises a spring 2007 reintroduction of this famous film. Many photographers who used Velvia 50 were disappointed with the results from the new Velvia 100. Velvia 100 is a very different film than Velvia 50, offering less exposure latitude and different color characteristics. Despite the prevalence of dSLRs, many fine-art and landscape photographers continue to use film with medium and large format cameras, due to their superior resolution and flexibility. The return of Velvia 50 would be welcome news for film photographers. |

Could the re-introduction of Kodak's Ektar/Royal Gold 25 be next??? (Hello 1989!!!) :-) I'd settle for Kodachrome 100 ;-) Heck, I'd even "settle for" the original Elite 100 -Yum!!! Heck, I'm much easier to please. I'd be thrilled with Supra 100 or Impressa 50. RP© Is that the Agfa? I recently shot and developed some 25 ISO bnw agfa, and it's awesome, but discontinued. Bummer, that! |

However, Fuji 160S seems to work very well. -- That was it. Done.

It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make. -- Douglas Adams in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency |

Boy, that'd be a kick! I *loved* that stuff! I even have a big display-size box, just as a memento. |
