What slide film is still available?
Is slide film still available? While some popular slide films have ceased in production, there are still many available from Kodak and Fujifilm in 35mm, 120, and even larger formats. FujiFilm never stopped producing slide film and currently sells three different types: Velvia 50, Velvia 100, and Provia 100f.
Whats the difference between Provia and Velvia?
provia has a dynamic range about a stop longer than velvia. provia has more natural colour than velvia which has more saturated colours.

Why are my film photos dark?
When film negatives are too dark, it likely means it was overexposed. Film speed may have been set too low, shutter speed too slow, or the aperture too wide, or maybe all of the above. If entire rolls of film are commonly overexposed your light meter may also be inaccurate.
