velvia 100F [question]
Does anyone use Velvia 100F with a different ISO setting than the one given
by the producer ? Some people use Sensia 100 with a 125 ISO setting claiming it is the proper one as the curve shows; similarily some use 125 or even 160 ISO setting for Provia 100 F. I just wanted to ask if someone has any experience of this sort with Velvia 100F. I'm using Nikon F80, haven't used velvia 100f before, going on holidays, don't want to spoil my pictures. thanks for suggestions |

That last sentence begs that you bring a film you know intimately. I shoot Sensia as rated. And have shot Velvia 100F as rated (but only two rolls to date so take that for what it's worth). At 100 I found it to be very nice, not as rich as the classic Velvia. Given its (V100F) saturation (a little less than Velvia classic), I wouldn't re-rate it, but if I did, it would be to 80, not 125. YMMV. On Sensia 100, I know a lot of Sensia/Astia shooters (in "real life" as well as the web) and I don't recall any rating it at 125. I do think Sensia is sometimes a bit thin, but whenever I decide to bracket under by 1/3 the shots appear dead in the shaddows. Cheers, Alan. -- --e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.-- |

velvia 100F [question]
If you go on holiday without testing your film for ISO first there is a
pretty good chance you will have plenty of badly exposed slides to toss out. Test your film in YOUR camera -- there is no other way to allow for 1 - The way your camers meters 2 - The way you meter 3 - The batch of film 4 - What you consider to be the right look -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from my novel "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "dan" wrote in message ...

At first I took brackets 1/3 above and below my chosen exposure till I got used to the film: quite quickly I decided I liked it at 100 best. This is based on careful metering wiht a spot-meter, but I find 100 best on the odd occasion where I use in-camera matrix with this film as well. I find 100F is easier to meter for than V50 - maybe it's just me, but I find it easier to predict: maybe it has a very slight amount more tonal range. Peter |

Rating it at ISO 100F won't spoil your pictures, unless the sensor in your camera is way off (which you would know if you have shot slide film before). If you really wantto be sure, simply auto-bracket teh important shots by 0.5 f-stop and one of the three is basicly guaranteed to be really good even with a off-balance sensor. Fuji slide films usualy tolerate between one stop over to half stop underexposure reasonably gracefully. This covers (assuming a spot-on sensor) its use as iso 150 - iso 50 film. Basicly, stop worrying. thanks for suggestions -- Sander +++ Out of cheese error +++ |
