(review written by Nathan, Rachel's husband)
I've only recently taken up film photography as a hobby. I read on several websites that Fuji Velvia 50 and 100 (not 100F) are great landscape films, and so I thought I would try them out. I found that Velvia 50 gives really intense colors, but changes the hues of some colors (example, orange turns red). I found that Velvia 100 gives very accurate, beautiful colors. In comparing scenes shot with a DSLR (Nikon D40) and Velvia 100 (with a Nikon N80), I found that the film picked up more color, and finer color hues than the DSLR. I thought that scanning the slides would cause me to lose some of the color hues, but to my joy they showed up in the digital scans as well.
All in all, good film.

Every review I read on Velvia raved about the quality of color the film is able to capture. I haven't been able to shoot in several years, but a bit of eye surgery and a used autofocus F5 are allowing me to return to the fold. Films that I knew are being phased out, so I finally gave up on my trusted Kodachrome and started shopping around.

My immediate reaction when I saw my first Velvia chromes on the light table was..."Damn, I'm good!" But I think it was probably more the film than me. The difference I have found in actually trying a 5-pack of Velvia rather than just reading the reviews of others is much like the difference in reading about how nice a kiss is and actually experiencing it.

Really good stuff, that Velvia!

FILM GOOD BUT THE ORDER FOR 5 PACKS OF FIVE DID NOT MATERIALIZE. I ORDERED 5, 5 PACKS AND GOT ONLY ONE. THE CHARGE WAS CORRECT BUT ORDER WAS INCOMPLETE. I ALSO CALLED AMAZON ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND YOU ALL GVE ME A NUMBER TO USE WHICH DID NOT WORK.
THE PRICE FOR THE ORDERED WAS VERY REASONABLE, BUT THE PRICE FOR THE ADDED ONES WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE OTHER PRICE.
