Thas been my favorite film for the past 20 years and I will use until Fuji stops producing it.

The saturation is perfect, perfect vivid greens, decent reds, and flurescent colorings match.

For Gods sake, do not shoot people with this film, everyone looks like they have a sunburn even if they have spent a cold winter in Alaska.

My all time favourite but it has an unforgivingly narrow latitude so exposures need to be spot on. High-contrast light a definite no-no with this film but it's lovely at each end of the day when the light is softer.

There is nothing else like Velvia 50, including Velvia 100. Then, Velvia 50 in medium format is not a photography it is an Art Paint.

Used for landscape photography. Love the saturation! Miss the extra stop compared to Velvia 100.

I just got my first roll back from the developer (a local outfit), and can confirm what so many others are saying: Velvia 50 simply cannot be beat for nature/landscape photography. Everyone who looks at my slides asks if I used a polarizing filter, which of course I don't, as I shoot this stuff through an old Fuji GA645. Rangefinders are a pain in the tuchus to use with a polarizing filter.

Also, yes, it is more likely an ISO40 film, not ISO50. All of my images were a bit dark, although to be fair, the GA645 is known to underexpose anywhere from a third to half a stop.

Still, all of these things are easy to work with, and I'll not stop using this until Fuji stops making it, or they put out an 80 MegaPixel full frame digital update to the GA645, surely the finest medium format point and shoot ever made by anyone, anywhere.

One final note: If you're going to scan your film using an Epson V700, plug "betterscanning" into the search engine of your choice and go buy the aftermarket film holders. Epson's OEM film holders allow the film to curve out of the focus plane too far, thus depriving you of a good image.

Velvia 50 is the "Classic" film for outdoor landscape use for good reason. The saturation, color and grain are exceptional.
I began using it when I shot in 35MM and naturally continued to use it when I moved into 6x7 medium format.
The only problem I have ever encountered with it was in the switch to medium format.
I knew that many photographers felt it should be rated at 40 not 50. That was never a concern for me in 35mm and I shot it at 50.
When I switched to medium format it became very apparent that most shots were too dark. Switching to shooting it at 40 solved the problem and I've shot it that way ever since.
When Fuji quit making it and it was no longer available I tried the 100. It was OK but no substitute for the 50.
Apparently there were many others who felt as I did, forcing Fuji to put it back into production.
The only thing that concerned me was that it took so long for it to come back in 220, the format I tend to shoot due to space limitations when I travel. Twice as many shots per roll and half as many rolls as 120 and all that.
As long as it is available, I will continue to shoot film, and continue to use Velvia 50 almost exclusevly.
If you're into landscapes and still shooting film you can't go wrong with this stuff.

Vibrant colors and extremely high resolution (what was the resolution of the best digital camera?): you've got to love Velvia 50. Plus, there are not that many films in 220 format. I wish they never stopped producing it.
