Velvia 50 is the gold standard for fine-grain transparency film. Slow speed means it needs lots of light or a tripod, but on the plus side, grain is well-nigh invisible, and if you're a bokeh-lover you can shoot wide open even when it's relatively sunny. Colours are incredibly vivid without being garish.Scans are all well and good, but for maximum enjoyment, have the slides mounted and view them on a projector (buy one of eBay if you don't have one already, they're cheap!) And thank me later ;)I give it four stars and not five, only because Fuji's recent price-hikes have made it really expensive (though I still can't resist shooting one or two rolls a year, it's that good!)

Velvia 50 remains one of my favorite slide films of all time-albeit an expensive one these days. I've shot this film on and off for over 30 years (it was introduced in the Spring of 1989). The saturation is incredible as is the sharpness plus it retains a surprising amount of shadow detail for a reversal (slide) film. Unfortunately I do not shoot it very often anymore due to it's recent price increase which has more than doubled in the last 10-15 years. There are other alternatives for sharp, saturated color that are more affordable although those are color negative films (Ektar 100, I'm looking in your direction).

If you love colour and contrast then Fuji Velvia 50 is simply the best there is. Highly saturated with high contrast Velvia 50 is perfect for standout landscapes to catch the eye, but is less suitable for architectural shots and unsuitable for portraits. Velvia 50 is pricey and difficult to get hold of but worth every penny when you find some of it.However, exposure needs to be spot on so it suits high-end cameras with accurate light meters best, and photographers who take the time to meter with hand-held exposure meters. Velvia 50 also freezes well, and I am still using 120 stock that I bought in 2008.

I've used a lot of this film in the past few years, and I love the colours it produces. It has beautiful definition, with very fine grain. Darker colours and shadows, like the underside of leaves can come out a bit dull and sickly, but brighter greens, as well as vivid colours like blues and reds come out stunning, and make this perfect for nature photography and other colourful scenes.I use a half frame camera so I encounter more grain on my photos than on full frame images, yet there's still hardly any with this film. The novelty of slide film still hasn't worn off, and I enjoy being able to see the true appearance of photos I have taken just by holding the film to the light once developedPersonally I enjoy some of the noise you can get from pushing this film ... MoreI've used a lot of this film in the past few years, and I love the colours it produces.

Taking photos like this can lead to some very nice gloomy atmosphere and if you include colourful artificial light in early evening conditions, the colours that Velvia can produce really come through.
Velvia 50 is the standard, for high saturation color film. The colors just pop. It's great for still-life and landscape photography. It also does well in low-contrast scenes as it helps increase the apparent contrast. High-contrast scenes may not work well, as shadow detail is easily lost. The ISO of 50/18 will often dictate that a tripod be used.
This is by far and away my favourite film stock. It’s stupidly expensive and doesn’t like high contrast lighting situations and the skin tones are awful but... the colours and fine grain and overall character of the images that you can make if you get the exposure right are sublime. If I could afford it, I would shoot nothing else. If you have never used it then get some (if you can) and try it out. The low iso means that you might need a tripod and you’re best off bracketing exposures for important shots.My guilty secret is that I mostly use Velvia point and shoot. I know that’s in direct contradiction to the good advice I just gave but, if you have a decent camera it works very well (the attached photos were taken using a Pentax Espoo mini)
What a film! Prior to this I had used Velvia 100 which I wasn't too pleased with. Thankfully, I didn't let that version of Velvia deter me from this version. Firstly, as expected, the grain is minimal because the ISO is so low. The colours that this film is able to capture are just stunning giving the images a real-life look. However, the low grain and accurate colours do not give the images a clinical, digital look. The images still very much have a film-feel in my opinion. I am very impressed with this film and am excited to shoot it again (before Fuji take it from us like they are with so many other films!), however my only gripe would be knowing when to use it. I thankfully loaded it and had a subject and lighting which I feel flaunted this films ability. ... MoreWhat a film! Prior to this I had used Velvia 100 which I wasn't too pleased with.

However, I can well imagine that in some scenarios, this film will perform well, but won't flatter the subject.
This is a great transparency film, for what that's worth. I'm clearly older than anyone writing these reviews. Why anyone is shooting with film today is because, I guess, they want to be authentic photographers, or something. None of the old films can compete with modern digital imaging. They are beautiful, but you are just trying to live in a world that was gone before you arrived. Kodachrome 25 was the best transparency film ever made. But it pales in comparison to modern RAW files.It's important that you're trying to understand where photography came from, but make no mistake, modern digital imaging is lightyears ahead of anything you can do with film. I started my career in a darkroom running 40 rolls of Tri-X at a time and 4x5 sheet film. Every image was hard ... MoreThis is a great transparency film, for what that's worth.

I started my career in a darkroom running 40 rolls of Tri-X at a time and 4x5 sheet film. Every image was hard and there were SO many ways to mess things up. Please respect every good photograph you see from the film era because it took a great deal of talent, skill, and luck to create.
I am still a devoted film photographer, and while there used to be a wider variety of color transparency film out there Fuji Velvia 50 has always stood out from the crowd. It's fine grain structure captures every detail of your subject, and the colors really pop. I specialize in macro photography (mostly of tropical fish), and Velvia 50 has always been my go-to film. The exposure can be a bit tricky since it has little or no latitude, but that's expected for ASA 50. With a little attention to bracketing by half-stops Velvia 50 will always give you great images.
Only a couple of weeks ago, I ordered three rolls of it after it being absent for a long time, and I pausing photography for a dozen years. That it cost me five times as much as the few rolls of 35 and 120 I had in improper storage for more than ten years, is a different topic. These three now sit in the fridge for the time being; the review here therefore pertains to the Velvia 50 of old: hopefully I'll have a chance to see if anything has changed - aside from the PRICE.Velvia 50 Professional has been my primary go-to film, ever since it hit the market.

Film being a tool along with camera equipment, this film has given me exactly what I needed for nature and wildlife photography; for other purposes, I use other type of films. The original Velvia had more than vivid colors, but that was toned down to what I regard the best ever rendition of color, resolution, grain - or rather the lack of it - and contrast in a slide film. It is as much a subjective judgement as it is objective of course - but this is MY dang review. I learned a couple other things about it:- The old school of exposing slide film 1/3 under, may apply in certain situations, but I found that straight on, and often 1/3 over brings out the best of this film.- Using many different lenses on different cameras not-that-old to old,both in 35 and medium format, one finds that different lenses have different rendition of color, yet with this film, the end result is always pleasing.- It is slow, but one cannot cheat physics. That is why God gave us tripods and fast lenses.- I have used those long-expired (2003, 2005) Velvias and others: the Velvia remained unaffected, others shifted color beyond usefulness, that includes other Fuji film, such as Provia.- Though personally have not done it, I've seen incredibly good scans of Velvia that would be a tough challenge for any digital camera to match.Some liken it to long gone greats like Kodachrome 25, or Ektachrome 64 - too warm and too cold in my experience, and their grain compared to Velvia is, well, antique. Now I hope that my fresh rolls are just as good as expected; there will be many autumns in Alaska and the Yukon without me, but not without this film if I happen to be around.
