This is an interesting thread and I notice that threads that discuss the forum seem to get the most activity, and the ones bearing bad news, i.e. the death of velvia :( oh, and of course the rather bizarre threads arguing about name colours :roll: Personally I prefer forums which discuss images,tech...

Very useful, I've been thinking of giving Ektar a try so this is very useful, thanks for posting.

Priced dropped, now asking £150 + postage.

Used once by one careful owner so practically brand new.

It means that if you see some too dense shadows (i.e. that are -5 or -6 stops or possibly more) you should still take the shot and send it off to be drum scanned :-) Also, there is usually a little bit more in the highlights than you might expect.. How much I can't really say at the moment as I sti...

That's astonishing, but for the average photographer what does it mean?

Paul, Silly question, but how do you pay for items from Germany? i.e. phone & credit card, send Euros, whatever? Thanks Dennis. Dennis, For Maco I just used their paypal option, other retailers I've dealt with I've generally used credit/debit card or paypal. No real difference to dealing with any o...

Thanks Charles,

I love buying stuff from German retailers, they always include a little bag of Haribo

Astia arrived from Maco today and I'll definitely use them again (unlike a certain UK supplier of Kodak film which I'm getting increasingly annoyed with).

Paul.

Very very nice Tim, that little bit of light does indeed make all the difference.

Paul.

Very nice Sean, especially the first one. I see what you mean about the velvia going mad in #2, I still like it though.

Paul.

P.S.
I had a play with fixing the green cast in my images and re-posted new versions in the original post above. Hopefully they are a little better

Thanks Charles,

I've now ordered some 100F to try. Astia has me intrigued but I assume the only option is to get it from the US. Badger Graphic and B&H both list it, anywhere else worth looking at ?

Paul.

Thanks for the feedback guys, the green cast is so obvious once it's pointed out, a bit embarrassing that I missed it really I must have been staring at them for too long without a neutral reference (at least that's my rather poor excuse).

Paul.

OK, scrub all that, me being dumb (what's new I hear you say ), after looking again I find that velvia 100 and 100F both come out at around 4 stops , so about the same as velvia 50.

Apologies.
Paul.
