Fujifilm Velvia 50

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.

Connection note

Burtynsky has discussed shooting his large-format industrial landscapes on Velvia 50; the film's fine grain and color saturation allow the tonal detail his oversized prints require, and its use is documented in interviews accompanying "Manufactured Landscapes" (2006).
