It is a few years since I have used Velvia and had forgotten how good it is. I have been using a digital SLR for the last four years and have been reasonably pleased with the results as well as the convienience; but really the photos are not brilliant. I had the Velvia developed and scanned to disc by Peakimaging; the results are fantatic. No matter what anyone says digital cannot match a good slide film.

This film has little grain, and great great vivid colours. Not really for taking pictures of people, as the skin colour shifts towards red. Also, bear in mind that it gets a green tint under incandescent lighting ( you can use a filter to correct this ).

Velvia, a legendary film with colours which can only be produced by this film.
Digital Landscape photographers all look to mimic the look of this film - which is still used by Pro's in the Landscape Photography field.
I've been using this film in 35mm and 645 MF for a number of years and it's beautiful.It has dark soft velvety blacks, punchy reds, yellows and greens and vibrancy which is wonderful to see.
On a light table or projected nothing comes close to it. It has even been used in Film - What Dreams May Come [DVD] [1998] is filmed in Velvia and you can just see the magic of it.
With a decent scanner such as an Epson V500Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner (6400dpi, 3.4 Opt Density, USB 2.0) (or higher models such as V700) with a transparency adaptor you'll get huge crisp clean scans - only yesterday I compared a high res 35mm scan of Velvia 50 portrait to a full size image of a shot taken with a Leica X1 and the Velvia shot holds it own, it holds as much detail and sharpness with contrast dependant upon the lens - I used a Contax G2 with 45mm Planar T* Zeiss lens, so it was tack sharp with beautiful contrast - it has better colour, and of course it has more grain - but thats also the beauty of Film.
120 film is even better, beautiful and very high res and detailed, depending upon format and lens again!
You can pick up Medium Format or quality 35mm gear for dirt cheap, and they'll go on for years and years with the image quality dependant upon your lens and light meter and on the SCANNER you use - I can only imagine what a drum scan would be like!
You could use Velvia for portraits, but it's not recommended, though for exotic travel shots (I went to northern Pakistan last year) its wonderful.
its very high contrast, so you've got to meter carefully.
Velvia 50 is slow, for more general use I'd go for Velvia 100 - 50 has marginally better colour in my opinion, but the extra stop in 100 means you can comfortably shoot handheld while travelling.
Well, what more can I say? If you're into photography and have a DSLR, grab a decent film camera, put in a roll of velvia and enjoy the results!
