Fuji Velvia 100

It’s been a few weeks since I last posted. I will continue with my series on various films stocks - and maybe follow it up with some on various digital cameras. This time it is Fuji Velvia 100 -  probably the most commonly used of the Fuji positive films. It is not quite the saturation and contrast hooligan that Velvia 50 can be, but it is not far off. I have found I can get some pretty good “moody” looks with this film and it seems very suited to my lovely Leica Noctilux 50mm F1.0 lens - which you can see further down. Like a lot of positive film, you have to be careful how you use it as the dynamic range is very small and the sensitivity to correct exposure is very high Trust your metering skills or be disappointed.
