FujiFilm Super HQ 200?

how bout velvia 100?
i've been wanting to buy some and try it out....
is the kodak portra film a slide film?

velvia is not flattering for portraits (i'm assuming that's what you're doing chris). i believe portra is a slide film, as is reala. Provia is good at color accuracy for portraits, but portra and reala are superior. I'd say get them at freestyle, it's one of the best places for buying film. I've bought from them many times, and am always pleased.

FYI Reala and Porta are colour C41 negative film.

I just saw them at Adorama, there are both slide and print of the Kodak Porta.

Probably market difference, but in the UK, I've only seen it as C41.....

Same here. Even Kodak's site only mentions print films.

This is not in any way conclusive evidence, but.... this is what I'm talking about:

See the crap colour, grain and low saturation? That's what my pictures on my Nikon F3 looked like using that film. Sucky looking.

Thanks Mate!

It's OK I have used them before but don't like it much.
