Strength:
The only really punchy slide film to choose if you want excellent saturation across all the colors
Weakness:
Not the best choice for portraits if you need true skin colors...go for Astia here. Still the best and most fine-grained slidefilm I've ever tried. Very reliable results and a corker for landscape pictures and commercial applications Customer Service No experience here Similar Products Used: Kodak's Echtacrome better for pictures that needs a red punch, fall colurs for instance. Fuji Provia 100F is close, but not close enough |

Strength:
Color saturation is unbeleivable. I do a lot of nightclub photography, and to accurately convey the color of the moment, this is great.
Weakness:
White people tend to look red. Use this for photographing anything where color is paramount...i.e. nightclubs where the people are bathed in multi-colored light...Switch off to Provia for white people in daylight/flash/bright tungsten. Similar Products Used: Kodachrome 25 |

Excellent Sharpness, and very very fine grain the best film in the world for landscapes
Weakness:
Have to use ultra slow shutter speeds which makes might photography a bit tricky If you are serious about going proffesional, and having your images published velvia is the only option. This film really is the best I have ever used, it enhances every colour and detail. *WOW*! Customer Service excellent as always Similar Products Used: Fuji Reala |

Strength:
Very fine grain.Very good in shadows
Weakness:
Sometimes too much colour.The objects seems artificial.Problems with light parts of the picture,especially foaming water.Horrible in winter ,it gets all blue-green in the shades. I can understand why so many of my friends like this film,but it is not my first choice.I want colours as close as they appears in real life,to get that genuine feeling in the photos.And Velvia is the opposite. Similar Products Used: Almost every slidefilm available. |

Strength:
Delicious colors.
Weakness:
Useless for skin tones This must be the ultimate landscape photographer's film. The colors burst from the film. However, don't depend on this film to render skin tones accurately - Caucasian subjects will look sunburned. Similar Products Used: Just about everything!!! |

Strength:
Wow what color! Wow this is sharp!
Weakness:
None This film is great for scenic photography. Over saturated colors sell better than reality, when it comes to stock and editorial Photography. Customer Service ??? Similar Products Used: Provia. Not as saturated color, or as sharp, but close. |
