Anyone shooting reversal film exclusively?

I dropped off my first roll of Velvia with my local shop. They get their E-6 films processed through Swan Photo at a price slightly better than Swan's own price. Maybe Swan's gives a B2B break. I was told it could take a week or two to get it back. Depending on how this turns out I may change my whole approach to films!

Slide film exclusively? Yes for many years. Why? My customers would only accept that type of film. I still shoot it now, even though my customers want digital. I scan it to keep them happy. I also prefer the color rendition of Velvia and Provia as it suites my tropical work.

90% slides, CN only for album prints for the kids etc.

There is a certain magic to the colours and the product has matured into sheer perfection within the last 80 years!

I only can hope and pray that Fuji continues to produce affordable slide films...

Just my two cents, my best years saw 60-80 rolls of slide film ;-)
