I just saw this article on the revival of Velvia 50 in the UK. I can only guess that we are next. :smile:

Cool. :cool: I've been using the Velvia 100, but just don't like it as well.

I agree - they say it has finer grain and all, but I still prefer 50. Now I can slow down on rationing my stockpile in the freezer. :biggrin:

What's Velvia 50?

I've worked around big company jargon enough that my BS meter gets a little whacky when I see a statement like this, "Production of Velvia 50 was halted at the beginning of 2005 when vital raw materials used in the production of the emulsion became unavailable."
