Way to go, the only colour I do at this stage is slide film. Of course,
it's all just for fun, so if you ignore the "work" part of your
photography,
we are in the same boat in that regard then. If/when I can manage to
find the
newly-released Ektar negative film in 120 format here in South Africa,
and
once I get a decent scanner, I might very well switch - I've seen
amazing
things from Ektar via forum postings etc. on the web.
I find it interesting that you have such an aversion for Provia,
though. I
am really a fan of Provia, though I do admit I've never shot it in
35mm, so I've
probably never even picked up any meaningful resolution difference
between it an
Velvia 100 which I also shoot from time to time.
I think you've inspired me to shoot more Velvia, though I am ever
conscious of it's
even smaller practical dynamic range than Provia beause of the high
contrast. But those
colours... sure are pretty.
