Cannot remember the price, but i think it was close to a roll of B&W Negs.?The FPP is said to use expired film, which is why it is so cheap. Expired transparency film is fine if it has been stored well, but not if it has been left lying around. Do a test roll on unimportant subjects to assess (colour palette and any casting) before committing it to kids.
I mostly use Agfa Precisa (that appears to be Sensia)
Not really digital projector is only 4K max and that's 8MP. I think the 35mm slide has more details than an 8MP image.
I did some tests comparing projected 35mm velvia with digital files. I found the 35mm equivalent to about 12-15 megapixels. A lot of other people have come to similar conclusions.
Can you expand on this, thanks?Beware the Nikon TTL when ambient light is high.
In the early 1990's, when Kodak developed the Photo CD format, it was decided that 16 megapixels represented all the useful information in a 35mm frame, considering things like lens MTF, etc.I did some tests comparing projected 35mm velvia with digital files.

I've got Kodachrome slides from the 80's that to my eyes look as good as when I shot them.[...]
Yes. As mine are from the same joyous period look, too. No special storage: individual slides sleeves in a ring binder, stored in the wardrobe. These were shot with everything from an Olympus OM10, OM1N, Nikon F3HP, OM4, Nikon FM2, FA and Canon T90. I stopped using Kodachrome in 1994 when I pounced on Canon's EOS 1N (almost bankrupting the family in doing so) and Velvia.
Hey...Thank You.Keep in mind when shooting E6 - you don't have as much exposure leeway as C41 and B&W. I'd do a test roll under various conditions, take notes, and find a lab that's consistent in their processing. Pick a film and get to know it.
When I shot E6 roll film commercially (35 and 6x7 fashion on figure) I pretty consistently rated it a bit slower than box speed, as did most of my peers and mentors. Most of us settled on 80 or so for EPP for instance, YMMV. (We were using studio strobes or scrims and reflectors outdoors to control highlights and shadows, too). Some E6 films really pop with a 1/8-1/4 stop push, too. Pushing E6 is a different animal than pushing B&W.
Hey...Thank You.
I will heed your advice.
Looks like i will not have too many options...but maybe one of the Fuji offerings...Provia perhaps.?
It has been almost 35 years since i have used a "lab".....whoever the drug store sent film to.
In this day, i have just recently used The Darkroom, twice, when i shot some color negative. Seems like they know what they are doing, so i plan to go with them again.
Thanks for the help

Must have used some awful lenses then.
The 16 megapixel figure was based on high quality RGB scans of film that capture R, G and B at every pixel location and NOT digital cameras that use the Bayer Filter array that really only capturers sharpness information (G data) at 1/2 of the total pixel locations.
Nope. It was a matter of the system MTF.So the scanner must have been the bottleneck that limited the results to just 16MP then.
The AgfaPhoto film is good, but most places in the US of which I am familiar charge the same for Precisa CT as they do for Provia.
He had just started carrying Lomography film. Among the various offerings was a 200 speed transparency film; it is available for both 35mm and 120. As neither Fuji nor Agfa appear to currently have any slide film at that speed, this would seem to be an entirely new film.

As for the predictions of the demise of slide film, I just got back from my local camera store (pretty much the only place in town that carries a wide assortment of film). He had just started carrying Lomography film. Among the various offerings was a 200 speed transparency film; it is available for both 35mm and 120. As neither Fuji nor Agfa appear to currently have any slide film at that speed, this would seem to be an entirely new film.
