Anon started a thread asking about Velvia.
>>3827009Someone else replied "Ektar is better". Which is totally reasonable, Velvia and Ektar are targeted at similar use cases, the op asked for people's opinions.

>>3827566I pointed out that *both* Velvia and Ektar give you red skin tones because they're high saturation and they both bring up the reds in skin. And fine, I guess the consensus is that Provia isn't great for portraits. I stand corrected. My point was just that neither Ektar nor Velvia--the two films under discussion--were designed with skin tones in mind at all, so you should use a more neutral or specifically portrait-focused film if you want to take pictures of people. Which I thought Provia was. And I still maintain that it is, compared to Velvia, and I'm comparing it to Velvia because Velvia was what this thread as a whole was talking about and what the two guys I was replying to were talking about.
