scenery: forests, hills, 'outdoorsy' kinda places.
lighting: i'll be shooting in daylight, with some sunset shots later on
pictures: landscape, scenery, candid, shots with a 210mm zoom of wildlife.


*color film
*not slide film.

can anyone reccomend some films and film speeds?

Thanks.
 
I'd have to say Provia 100

I wish I could find you the comparison between the Provia 100 and Velvia 100, but alas.....it's early, and I'm only on cup #1 of coffee. ;)

So far I've only shot Kodak's Chroma (multiple speeds) with my Elan 7e, but I cannot WAIT to get a roll or two of Velvia(100 or 50) or Provia(100)

Provia 100F is a slide film, color reversal is another name for slide or transparency film.

Pretty much the only transparency film I use is Provia 100F. I've had consistenly great results in 35mm, 120, and 4x5.

Quite right. I have shot with both RVP 50, and RDP 100, and they are both really nice emulsions. The RVP has my vote if I chose between the two. The color, and grain are amazing. The provia is also a little harder to get just right. I guess it is more my style of shooting.

I will have to second Reala 100. It is a great emulsion, and its properties will lend to good colors, and amazing grain for a APA 100 film.

Cheers,
 
Sorry,...guess I wasn't down with the film "lingo" :D

How embarassing. LOL
 
maybe i'm a little mis-informed here... the reason i don't want to shoot with slide film is that i can't get prints... and i don't have a scanner.. i don't want to have a bunch of slides that are essentially useless to me, i'd rather have prints.
and from my experience, having them developed with contact sheet only is kinda difficult - deciding on which pictures are best on little tiny thumbnails is no fun.
 
Of course you can get prints from slide film, but unless you're a rather decent photographer (to deal with the far smaller exposure latitude of slide film) and are willing to spend comparatively more on prints, it's not worth the extra expense. I still suggest Fuji Reala.
