luke main Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I would like a quick answer advising me of the closet print film to the chrome film of fuji velvia and or provia 100F. Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbq Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 "None". Seriously, try Agfa Ultra 100 and Konica Impresa 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I second Konica Impresa 50. Like Velvia, if you're shooting in bright harsh light I recommend a polarizer or warming filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I like Reala in medium format because the palette is similar enough to what I get from 35mm Provia 100F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil_lupin Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I second Reala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrence_title Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Kodak Portra 400UC. Very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliot Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Others may disagree, but it seems to me that less expensive, consumer-grade film usually has pretty good color saturation. Kodak Gold, Fuji Superia, etc. Nothing is quite like velvia, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pns Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Agree mostly on previous posts. I shoot reala (strictly printed on frontier machine and fuji crystal archive paper) medium/35mm formats as a substitute to velvia and provia. Velvia has more cooler, saturated colours than reala and provia is almost same as reala in many situations. Although since I shoot reala always at EI80, i find it little bit brighter, which is better. There is really no substitute to velvia in print films as far as I know. Forget the lattitude etc properties, velvia color pallet itself is so unique in its colors. On the other hand as last poster says, I find that films like kodak Gold 100 or supra 100 are pretty saturated and lot warmer than fuji counterparts but they start to show their grain soon.

luke main Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 I would just like to say that i really appreciate your help guys. All i really want is a print i can show my friends and for them to say "Oh wow the colours are so intense" and i would like to scan and enlarge the prints aswell. So from what has already been posted i assume that i could be safe in shooting fuji superia 100 to get the results i am after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.t. dowling Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Just shoot Velvia or Provia, and then take the slide to a lab that has a Fuji Frontier and have them make a print from it. It's that easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pns Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Ditto on last reply. Fuji frontier is surprisingly good and cheap way to print from slides, particularly Fuji slides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristian reinau Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 If you look at film resolution, then Velvia, as far as I know, is the "winner" among slides, with a resolution on up to 80 l/mm in "real world contrast" pictures. Provia on the other hand is only able to record 60 l/mm. Surprisingly the print film Reala 100 iso, is capable of recording 63 l/mm! So looking only at resolution, Reala could be a good alternative to Provia. I use both Provia and Reala, and I think that the Reala produces some wonderful colour � but that�s my subjective opinion!
