Wayne ..... ask at the photo store if this UC film is as colour saturated as
Agfa Ultra 50 ISO negative film. Ultra 50 is so colour saturated that one
almost feels as if the colours can be shovelled out of the image unless of
course you enjoy dense deep colours almost beyond the appearance of reality.
Velvia is fairly colour saturated but not to the extent of Ultra 50. Another
suggestion is Kodak E100W or E100VS slide film both of which provide warm
and not overly saturated colours. Regardless of slide film chosen a UV
filter and polarizer will be necessary. Just my 2 bits :-)
