thanks mark.
i usually lug the tripod round anyway, but for some reason, i prefer the colours of 100F. They just seem to have the right balance between vibrant/contrasty colours and natural colours. plus, the extra stop does come in handy when it's too much effort to set the tripod up. admittedly, i haven't shot an awful lot of either film, so i might give Velvia50 a go sometime in the future.

You'll have to be quick as Velvia 50 has been discontinued, being replaced by Velvia 100 (a different film from Velvia 100F). 7dayshop.com are selling Velvia 50 at the moment with an expiry date of May 2007. I haven't made up my mind about whether or not Velvia 100 is as good as Velvia 50 - I don't shoot enough film, but if the colour saturation is as good, and you still want slow shutter speeds then you can always use a ND filter.
