Fujifilm
Velvia 50 is a color reversal film introduced by Fujifilm in 1990, rated at ISO 50. Its extremely fine grain and vivid color saturation made it the standard film among landscape and wildlife photographers through the 1990s and 2000s. It remains in production and is favored by photographers working with medium and large format cameras.
“Lanting has discussed using Fujifilm Velvia 50 for his wildlife and landscape work in National Geographic; its saturated color reproduction and fine grain suited the demands of magazine reproduction and the large-format print work he produced in the field.”
