Slides for Garden Photograpjy
Got a job for garden photography. I was planning to use Velvia 100, but
they are on back order (?) everywhere here in Germany. I have to make the first shots on Sunday and am not sure about the new Sensia 100 and don't know if I can get enough Velvia 50 tomorrow. What else would you recommend for this topic? Any special consumer Kodak slides or consumer Agfa slides? Thank you for sharing your experience. Peter Eisenburger http://www.petereisenburger.de |

Kodak E100VS and Fuji Provia 100 do a good job Both are quite contrasty, I would use Sensia instead. It ha the vivid colours of Provia 100 but without the contrast. JJ |

Any special consumer Kodak slides or consumer Agfa slides? Thank you for sharing your experience. Peter Eisenburger http://www.petereisenburger.de I am a fan of Sensia 100 (Astia 100). However the "new" Sensia (Astia 100F) which I have used has had a significant colour cast in the cyan end of the spectrum. I can't use it at all. I have bough up big on "old" Sensia 100. I have now stuck my head in the sand and keep telling myself that it's not really happening and that "somehow" my stock of "old" Sensia won't run out. To be a little more realistic, I am hopefull that the batch I tried was simply crap because there might be some teething problems in the "new" Sensia 100 production. The "new" Sensia 100 has much finer grain and is almost "medium format" like. These are the very properties which were lacking in the "old" Sensia, but which was otherwise perfect. So suddenly the "new" Sensia 100 was, well, perfect. At least these were my first impressions before I encountered circumstances which highlighted the colour cast. I found that the colour cast would be offensive were warming filters were used but where there was OVER correction. This would usually result in a warm image, great, but with the "new" Sensia 100 the overcorrection would result in a green cast, Cyan and yellow/orange=green. Yuck... My local distributor of the product tells me that no one else has complained about the colour cast. I'm not sure if this means that Sensia users have very low standards or if I am the only person to have this problem. To answer your question, I would use the new sensia but only if you did not correct with filters such as 81 series. Sensia is a great general purpose film, lets hope it stays that way. JJ |

If you can get E100vs do it for vivid color, it is contrasty
but produces excellent color under the right conditions. Velvia 50 is a keeper also. In article , Peter Eisenburger wrote: Got a job for garden photography.

Sensia ('old'), while not as saturated as Velvia, gives very nice color for flowers and scans nicely too. I hacen't tried the Sensia 100F yet.

Thank you guys for your help. Here are the first impressions of the garden:
http://www.eisenburger.de/Projekte/Schulz/index.html I'm not yet satisfied with the koi, of course, though these koi pictures are bitmap edited already. I will test one or two other techniques including pol filter and will let you know. I too noticed that my Nikkor zoom is not sharp enough at 28mm. So I'm trying to get the 28/2.8 at ebay right now Peter Peter Eisenburger wrote: Got a job for garden photography.

Any special consumer Kodak slides or consumer Agfa slides? Agfa CT Precisa is a good choice! I love this material. Its color balance is warmer than the at times sterile appearing Sensia. Wolf Faust recommends to use Velvia IT8 profile with Agfa Precisa. Works quite fine and confirms the higher color saturation of the CT100 Precisa than in Sensia or Provia.
