Thanks for sharing the images. I had a chance to try this film recently,
though I do not have anything scanned yet. Hopefully, the scanning
performance will be good, and I may have some samples soon.

The Fuji reps gave me some of this film to try out recently. I happened to
test a roll against Kodak E100VS at a Porsche Club event. Overall, I was very
surprised that Velvia 100F is a warm biased film, with little of the blue
green bias of Velvia 50.

The most telling shots involved the pavement. In the Kodak E100VS shots, the
pavement is almost exactly grey, while in the Velvia 100F shots, the pavement
has a reddish tone to it. Green areas and objects were another difference.
The E100VS tended to go more towards black with the trees in the background
of some shots, while the Velvia 100F just went darker green. One car had
fluorescent green wheels, and the Velvia 100F rendered them yellow, while the
E100VS gave the proper colour.

This now makes it tougher for me to choose between the two films for
automotive imagery. Black cars looked a little better with the Fuji, though
red cars were about even on both films, and white cars better left to the
E100VS without colour cast nor warm bias. Light blue cars also looked
slightly better with the E100VS

If I were doing landscape, or food imagery, then I would lean towards the new
Fuji Velvia 100F. The green rendering was not natural, but it made for a more
striking image. Thanks Fuji, for letting me try this film. I will definitely
be adding it to my refrigerator.

Ciao!
