I still shoot film along with digital images, and color transparency film like Velvia holds a place in my heart. It produces color that it is hard to quite match with digital. Fuji is still producing it, but for how long, no one knows. Enjoy it while you can.

Adorama continues to make Fujifilm Velvia 50 35mm slide film available to customers, whereas BH Photo no longer offers it and will not comment on future availability.

This is my go-to film for outdoor shooting. The grain is fine and it picks up cold like nothing else in its class.

This was my first time shooting with this film. The most difficult issue I had was adjusting to the 50 ISO. Usually I shoot on ISO 400 so it took a little bit of trial and error to get exposure where I liked. Had the most difficulty in very bright sunlight. (keep in mind all errors in exposure are entirely my own fault). But any moment I had a bit of shade the film really performed amazingly. Will definitely be using this product again in a more controlled setting.

My "go to" film for landscapes. Some Folks report conditions need to be ideal in order to get the most out of this film. My experiences suggest otherwise. Even in heavy cloud conditions, taking time to find the proper depth as well as shutter speed still yield pretty decent results. Everyone has their own tastes, correct?..........Also, delivery was quick and accurate, as it always is with Adorama.

Great detail with over saturated results. Great for landscapes but not good for portraits.

I've shot with Fujichrome 50 for years now since Kodak stopped making my beloved Kodachrome. As far as I'm concerned the Fujichrome 50 is the finest color slide film in existence. The colors are vivid and the saturation is superb. I mainly shoot nature and this film is ideal for that. It also renders flesh tones wonderfully. I highly recommend this film.

This is the most distinctive reversal film available - very saturated, very fine grained, lots and lots of character. For landscape, not people. Somewhat hard to work with, but when the stars align, it's quite impressive. Not exactly a natural look. 50 ISO is quite slow for most hand-held work. It seems to have more limited dynamic range than Provia or Velvia 100. It is expensive - although Adorama has the best prices I've seen.

I use this when shooting subjects with vivid colors and this film really pops. The only con is that you need to get your exposure dialed in as this film offers very little margin for error but when you nail it the results are awesome!

I have been shooting Velvia RVP for many years and am extremely satisfied with it. The deep color saturation, sharpness, wide contrast latitude, and extremely fine grain make it perfect for any photography with the only exception of people portraiture. In any other case such as landscapes or colorful subjects this is my go to film bar none. Since this is a very slow film it's best to use a steady hand in low light or a tripod for best results. I have even used it for fireworks time exposures with great results. Transparencies can be transferred to paper enlargements if you like. Refrigerate this film on receipt. Try it you will not be disapointed! As usual Adorama delivers quickly and great customer service!

This film has excellent color saturation with clean grain and faithful color reproduction. The ISO rating limits it's applications, but every situation has the right film. I have never pushed the processing with this film, so I don't know how it performs when forced. I have used this stock with superior results for more than ten years and it has remained consistent. I still shoot film!!!

I use this film to photograph landscapes and other natural scenery. The color depth, contrast and grain are excellent. Wouldn't use any other film for this type of work. But be careful. Velvia is not very tolerant of underexposure and overexposure. You have to be pretty much dead on, or else you shot will not come out. But when they do come out, it is well worth the effort. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the Sunny 16 rule as the wide range of brightness in a nature scene can wreak havoc with your light meter.

I use Velvia 50 slide film for macro shots in my Nikonos V underwater camera. I know if I get the critter in the framer the shot will be great. I never have any problem with graininess when I enlarge, prints are always sharp and clear. I also use this film in my housed Nikon N8 with a Nikon Micro 60mm lens and it works just as well.

Digital cameras are great, but they still have not made one that can produce the color saturation or resolution of this film. That is why there remains a demand for this product.

What can I say that hasn't been said already? Once you learn how to use it there is nothing quite like it. Not better or worse than a digital image but a different quality ,a different light. Enough said

Velvia 50 is FANTASTIC. This is my go to slide film for travel, landscape etc... Cannot recommend this enough.

Absolutely the best for high color. TODAY digital doesn't match. I used Velvia for years and then went digital for the last 10-15 years. Now I am going back to film. Velvia for color!!!

This is an excellent film for nature, landscape, and travel photography. The only drawbacks are film speed, but that's workable and a slight pink tinge on some skin tones. However, I would use Fuji Superia for pictures of people. Velvia 50 has great saturated colours.

As the successor to Kodachrome 25 for fine work the lack of reciprocity adjustments makes it more economical as bracketing is much less of an issue. I just hope that digital technology doesn't make film obsolete.
