A good slide film to use with Smena 8

[stnicholas81]

Much as I hate to admit it, I had never shoot slides before. Looking forward to bringing my smena 8 (gotten from yummijp) for a tw trip. Any good slides to recommend? Not looking into X-Pro the slides but just want something more contrasty and saturated from normal negative film.

As I assume that the weather during the summer is hot and hot = sunny i assume that an iso 100 slide film is enough (for cost reasons too). Any good ones to recommend? Have read that velvia 100 (without the F) is good or provia.

Thanks. Cheers =). Nic

Hi Nic,

For slides, I shot with Fuji Provia before only. On a SLR, it produces fine grain with good contrasty colors...

Last time, I only uses Provia to shoot when the weather is good and if the place got nice colours.

Other slides I never try before...

Actually, you can use normal films, shoot 2 stop under and then ask lab to push 2 stop, will be more contrasty, but grainy lah.
