What a lovely falls and photo! NYS is endless in its glorious waterfalls. Love to go
to Letchworth this time of year.

Velvia 50 Provia 100 match the Ektachrome I had in Oz, but not better

Nope. Don't necessarily see the logic, if something about the images is better. In my case it might be the lens, in others it might be something about the color. I do agree that the recent revival of film is a small bump in a digital world. I like Ken Rockwell's comment that some film cameras, like my Contax D2 ought to be transformed into digital because of the great lenses (e.g., my Zeiss 21 mm and others). And others notice that features of film cameras have found their way onto digital cameras (witness Fujifilm and Nikon new Zf). So maybe the dinosaurs should not be left in museums.

Yes, ho ho. But maybe the dinosaurs were better than we thought.

Thanks for the information! I will try the new Ektachrome although Provia 100 has been recommended to me.

Yes, and I have learned that there is a renewed Ektachrome 100 available. Maybe it is better in red than the old stuff.

Thanks. Have seen Fujifilm of course but did not realize Ektachrome was back.

Thanks! I was really thrilled by the G2 camera and especially the Zeiss 21 mm lens. I don't think of myself as an expert, but this lens was outstanding and I will try to revive it now. I think Contax figured out how to make a great automatic rangefinder 35 mm just as film was disappearing.

Thanks!

Wow! How can it be obtained?

Thanks. But wonder if the red performance was ever better in these foreign plants. I don't think the film I got in Australia was from Australia but more likely from Japan or Korea.

This is directed to dinosaurs that survived. I noticed the sale of lots of film at my local store the other day, and it reminded me of an experience I never questioned. I was in Australia for 7 months in 2000, and had a Contax G2 camera (35 mm rangefinder - still my all-time favorite traveling camera). I sought film from a local shop in my university and was offered several rolls of Ektachrome, which had ISO of 100 (if I remember correctly) and I was told that it was great in the red range (not my experience in USA-bought Ekatchrome). And it was! I was also told that this film was not available in the USA. Anyone have insights on this? I attach a few pix I took with the slide film (scanned by Kodak USA in 2001). Wish Kodachrome still existed! Cheers, mates.

Fantastic photos! Except for the poster of Che, it reminds me of my childhood on Daly Avenue in the east Bronx of the fifties!

Indeed Fujifilm has had a retro look with very practical adjustments with physical knobs for years. Nikon is catching up.
