Apparently, the point of Velvia is that it provides something approaching the Kodachrome look, but can be processed by anyone who can do E6 work. It's also available as a motion-picture stock (yes, 35mm reversal!) and is occasionally used for commercials and music videos. Apparently, it can't really be printed, so it's only useful for work that will end up on tape.Personally, I'm a Kodachrome fan for the most part, but I have also been happy with the Ektachrome 400 asa stock for slides and Royal Gold 100 for when I need prints (like for the photos I've taken for the picture gallery here, since I don't have access to a slide scanner). Last weekend, I shot some Tmax 3200 for the first time in a couple of years. I'd forgotten how great this is for B&W work with available light. Check out the exposure latitude in these pictures (click on the links below)...this was a pretty poorly lit nightclub type of place, with several stops' worth of difference in the light from one part of the stage to another. I shot these with a slowish zoom lens at f 3.5, 1/60 and the film was processed at 3200...I have another roll that was pushed to 6400, but I haven't scanned any of the pictures yet. These scans aren't that great, but they give some idea of what can be done with 3200 asa film. picture 1 - small (30k) picture 1 - large (240k) picture 2 - small (26k) picture 2 - large (290k) (This is getting way off topic...)
