A Celebration of E6

There was a talk about a bad batch of CR200 (yellow cast), but your example is much worse than those.

+1.
I've also had some Rollei CR 200 films with a strong yellow cast.
But nevertheless they looked much better than this example here.
Probably one batch was not stored properly.

I would make an official complain at both your distributor and Rollei-Film. They can only improve things when they get feedback.

I have not had this problem with the Wittner Chrome 200D, this film is fine.

Those images look great Ellen, the colours look good for Velvia skin tones are less red than I get-in fact they have an almost Kodachrome 64 look...
Excellent!!

Thank you for your kind words on the images!

It's interesting you made that comment about Velvia and skin tones. I have been pondering why I didn't see any of the typical red in this gentleman's skin. I took some images with this same film of my daughter and noticed the typical redness in images of her. The only difference in the skin in these images is that my daughter is white and this gentleman is black. I found myself wondering whether a black person's skin is "immune" to the typical red effect on skin tone of Velvia film. In fact, I was originally going to start a a thread asking about this interesting phenomena. Of course, I am pleased that things came out more natural-looking than I would have expected.

Hi Ellen
I'm not sure mainly because I don't use Velvia for people much. I did some tests once with skin tones and they were very red.
As for the mans ethnic group making him 'immune' – possibly. When they formulated this film they used standard colour rendering charts-unfortuately all of them have caucasian women wearing neutral clothing.
We had the test in our lab 'Fuji lady' had dark brown hair and a grey 'V' neck jumper, evaluation was from colour patches and grey patch to a known density.

If those scans look like your slides then the rendering is very good for Velvia and skin tones for your subject and the light you placed him in.
Well done anyhow :)
