5 frames… of people with FujiFilm Velvia 50 and Rolleiflex 2.8GX
I’m getting back to my “summer experiment” -– testing medium format slide film. This time I’d like to share results from FujiFilm Velvia 50. Why do I call it “testing”?

Film stock review: Fujifilm FUJICHROME Velvia 50 Professional (RVP 50)
I think there’s a pretty big misconception about shooting slide film. We’ve all heard the stories about how slide film is ridiculously hard to shoot, that if you’re off on your exposure by just a small amount that your highlights will either be blown away or everything will be a murky detail void shadow.
