Velvia 100F falls between Provia and Velvia in terms of color saturation and contrast; it was originally intended to replace Velvia 50 but was not saturated enough to fulfill that role.Quote:

Ken Rockwell is controversial but his opinions on the various Velvias are listed here:

Velvia 50 was highly regarded by many well known landscape photographers, but I never cared much for it. If Velvia 100 is close to Velvia 50, then I will not bother with it. I might try the Velvia 100F in 35mm to see if I like it along with Provia and E100GX before buying 8x10 sheets.Quote:

My favorite Fuji transparency film is Provia.
Fuji 160S negative and Provia positive films will be on my short list.
Thanks Ron, Eric and Gene for replying.
