For Splat or MBS or anybody else who knows. What kind of slide film would you recomend using for shooting ski pics? Brand names? Whatever I need to know. Any input appreciated. Thanks.

my favorite brand is made by jong. YOu should check it out.
It's his first post here, but lad has been around longer than you have.
Fuji - Velvia 50, Provia 100F, Kodak E100. There's some b&w slide film out now that you could play with if you want to try something for effect. Don't even know who's making it.
well here is few i can recommend recommendable:
fuji velvia 50 : sharp,crisp,lucious.
kodak ectachrome EPP 100 : quite sharp, a bit older film with wonderfull,neutral colorbalace.
kodak ectachrome EPN 100 : as above, a tad sharper and a bit more vivid colours.
kodak ectachrome EPL 400x : THE film for lowligh photography. Can be pushprocessed 2-3 stops, Very contrasty, can be crossprocessed with exelent results, good for tungsten based lighting (indoors).film has a light greenish hue, so some people dont like it. very expensive.
films that i use if i find them in my pocket.
fuji sensia 100 & 400
fuji provia 100 & 400.
: not that good films. dont like the tonal range or colors.
well, thats my choices...

im not experienced at takign action photos. but ive had good resultsd the past 2 seasons with fuji provia 100 speed.
I don't know a whole lot about it but....
I did work part time in the camera store in Tahoe City for a year or so. We had several known ski/snowboard photographers brought their stuff in to us for development. Rich Van Every, Dave Norehad, Aaron Sedway, Chaco Moeller and a few others whose names I can't recall. They all used Fuji.
Good thing Fuji only makes one flavor of film, eh? ;)Quote:

Thanks for the quick responses. I needed film in a hurry. Oh, and by the way, I've been posting in this forum since it began under various names, but I'm in Europe and I can't remeber any of my old passwords, so I just went back to my old powdermag name.
