Fujichrome for landscape, flowers.

Renato Tonelli · May 16, 2007

I used to use Kodachrome exclusively but I need to switch film for faster processing.
I would like to get a sense from Fujifilm users of which film you use for landscapes, flowers. I'm looking for color saturation, not too contrasty and no color-bleed.
...and I want my pie and eat it too, otherwise what is the point?

Thanks in advance.

If you look in my gallery (link below in my sig block) there are a number of shots taken with both Velvia 50 and Velvia 100.

Renato,
I also use a lot of Velvia, but just be aware it is much more saturated than Kodachrome.
More contrasty too.
I find that Provia is less of both.
I'm just starting to play with Astia, and so far it reminds of Kodachrome in E6.
Overall, my best, sharpest prints come from Velvia.

I second what Dave and George are saying. Try both Velvia and Provia and see which you like best. I personally like Velvia 50, followed by Velvia 100, then Provia 100. I just got a few rolls of the new Provia 400X, and I'm planning on shooting it over the coming Memorial Day weekend.
