I tend to shoot mostly 100SW and 100VS. Velvia is just way too contrasty for my tastes and I have shot untold thousands of rolls of Velvia over the last 6 years...the magazine company I worked for only shot velvia...finally just before I quit I got them to start shooting some Kodak films. I really like those new Kodak chromes and the new Portra ain't bad either. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
