Slide film or Negative film


It is known that a slide film is much better than a negative film, especially when one wants to enlarge a print. But I seldom enlarges any of my prints. So should I stick to negatives or switch over to slides to get better picture quality. Well, in other words, will there be any noticeable improvement in my prints, of say 4x6in, from a slide film over negative. I prefer to shoot with Fuji Reala 100 which I feel is one of the best negative films available. And for slides I stick to Velvia and Provia.

Thanks

  If you are just interested in prints then I would say stick with negative film. Slide film is not necessarily better it's just different. But it is also more difficult and expensive to get prints made from especially if you are just making small prints.
