Why Shoot Color Positives?

... When ever I sent prints out to print they came back the way the printer, or more often than not the machine saw the picture. If I was shooting existing darkness many came back mud because they though I missed something in the darkness. I didn't miss anything, print it they way I shot it and please don't correct it thank you very much was my feeling often on what might be viewed as tricky rolls.

With slides I never had that, blacks came out black, whites white. When I shot rock bands I got the exposures I expected, not blown highlights so they could print the patterns in the speakers or the curtains.

I also have the same thought on negative film and printing. At times, I now tend to scan myself and then print from a digital file

Sensia (poor man's astia) does people just fine as well:

As far as I know, Sensia IS Astia, as Kodachrome IS Professional Kodachrome...

Manufacturers test periodically some film from the master rolls... It seems that some parts of the rolls are not 100% identical in tone, but 99.99%, so the 100% zones are used to make pro versions of films and guarantee skin and clothes tone consistency of the same subject in the same session no matter the film batch or day you bought your rolls of film... The 99.99% zones are used for the consumer version... Lots of professionals use Sensia for fashion and wildlife: best slide film for natural color.

Cheers,

Juan

I like 'Freshwater' very much and it just isn't the colors, there is a depth, soul, 3D, passion, I don't what it is called with slides.
 
I think there is but yeah sometimes I wonder if its all in my mind... color quality is a bit subjective I guess, a matter of personal preference.
