DSLR is like Microsoft Word whereas Film is like an exquisite fountain pen. It is much more fun when I have time to relax. I still insist that Velvia can be used for streets and other shots than for landscape.
Taken with UC Hexanon 35mm and Velvia 100 on Zeiss Ikon.

Of course it can, Velvia is great for objects. Great shots you got there.

Make that "DSLR is like OpenOffice" and I'll get on board.

Ambitious, but rubbish
That is absolutely, positively one of the best and most apt analogies I have ever heard.
Oh, nice pix too.

I need to learn how to use Velvia properly...

Your colors are great, develped yourself or?
I shot Velvia RVP 135 iso 50 in my olympus 35sp (maybe less contrasty lens than your Hex) but got a lot of muted colors. Maybe because I was underexposing?
here is an example:
Not the best example cause it is indoor lighting, but the paintings on the right were really colorful.

Yes, a little underexposed, but really interesting composition though!!

Yeah and make that film like "Emacs" =)

shoot pictures not people
I thought under-exposing slide film increases saturation, no?

Velvia is my favorite film. Though I got some AGFA Ultra Color from Hong Kong and am really enjoying it right now.
DSLR's are awesome, by the way. They are not remotely like word processors.

I think Velvia colour rendition is very lens dependent, at least that is my experience, on vintage or uncoated lens the colour is rather flat/muted, and more saturated and striking with modern coated glass. Also I think slightly overexposed it gives more vivid colour

Velvia rocks! This is my favourite photo shot with Velvia on my Mamiya:
you can see some more on my 120mm set on flickr.

A little Velvia 100 with Contax T in Ulaan Baatar last summer. Couldn't post from the RFF gallery so I had to upload from flickr. Seems like people either love or hate Velvia. I enjoy the look, but hate to wait a week or more to get it developed in my neighborhood.

I forgot to mention I really do like drjoke's pics. All of these are really nice in fact--what a wonderful film...
How do you all have your Velvia processed, by the way? Do you get slides mounted, or just scan from strips of positives? I'm wondering if perhaps I should start going with the latter, for ease of scanning and storage, then mount my favorites myself.

I scan from the strips. mounted slides cost extra
