Hi Ahsan, many thanks for your video. I really like the saturated colours showing in your frames... I normally do only B&W film, but with a new summer coming along, I might try positive colour film. With regards to the F-stops you mention, this is assuming a 1/50 or 1/60 shutter speed for Velvia 50? Also, about the matrix meter in the FA, I understand you don't rely on that one? (But on the Sekonic that you mention if you need to meter?)
At the time I didn’t have a battery in the camera so I relied on either my phone light meter or the Sekonic L308-X. I can’t remember my shutter speed settings! My experience with slide film stocks would make me gravitate toward using a dedicated light meter. Slide film is very sensitive and it is important that you expose it correctly whether shooting portraits (shoot with Provia 100F or Ektachrome E100) or landscapes (Velvia 50 or 100)! Any more questions, let us know!
I don’t believe we can get Velvia in the USA anymore in any format. Something about chemicals used to make and develop it. Provia is still available but to be honest I think Fuji is slowly getting out of the film business. Back in the day Velvia 50 was the go to for all landscape photographers. The blues and greens were very saturated, even more so than the old Ektachrome which tended to be more green overall.
I'm sure there are some online retailers such B&H that may have some stock of Velvia. Might be worth a shot particularly if you are shooting landscapes!
I don’t think it can even be sold in the US anymore and nobody can develop it so you have to do that yourself. I’ve never developed color only B/W. The new formula Ektachrome is nice and Ektar is nice also. Portra 400 is good especially at sunset and the Gold is good too.
@@sophietucker1255 I'm confident it is available. Have you tried searching local film stores or developers? There are mail order development services available!
