(erielack) Kodak vs. Fuji

Hold on a second...

Before any of you start bad-mouthing Fuji slide film you should know that in the publishing industry it is the most common film used. I work for Hemmings Motor News (a large automotive publishing company) and photographing calendars and magazine covers is a big part of what I do. In fact, the last automotive pub co also used Fuji exclusively. The cars I photograph are in the same setting (Natural sun lighting) as trains are. Velvia 50 speed film has very exagerated colors especially when photograping green and red subjects. These subjects look great on a bright sunny day but if there is a small amount of overcast forgetaboutit! 

Here in the office we use Provia 100F speed film. It has a very small grain and can be blown up very large (if you don't believe me, go to Barnes and Noble and look at some of our calendars) This film is the best stuff on the market. Hands down.

Kodak film in our oppinion, sucks. Colors are very drab and is band from our office. No because we are anti Kodak we are just anti-bad images. 

Anyway. Before you trash the Fuji, try Provia 100F. If you buy it in bulk quantities, B&H Phot in NYC is the absolute cheapest way to buy film. An no I don't work for B&H. 

So back off on the Fuji. It IS the best slide film on thet market.
