Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / August 2005Velvia 100 (New) "My Impressions"
Well as I stated previously; I got ahold of the new Velvia in 120 and 35mm. I've shot about tree rolls total out of the six I initially bought. It appears to have really fine grain on the light box and scans very well. The impression I have of the color is that it quite accurate to the way my eyes typically see color. It is moderately saturated for most colors, that is I don't find it saturated at the expense of blocking detail. Over all ,...It seems somewhat less saturated than E100vs which is a good thing in my book, but for one certain shade of red it does saturate a little too much -IMOP. I also found this Fuji film processes well (for these 3 rolls) at my normal lab that sometimes has problems with Fuji films going slightly green on normal process.

Thanks for the report. I assume you mean the Velvia 100 and not the Velvia 100F? Have you compared the 100 to the 100F? I personally enjoy both the 100F and E100GX.

Still a lot of 100F in the fridges at the stores.

No. The original asa 50 Velvia is being discontinued and replaced with Velvia 100. Velvia 100F has a different palette and presumably Fuji will supply both 100F and 100. > >Robert C wrote .. > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Velvia 100.

Still a virgin :) I took 5 rolls of Velvia and 5 rolls of Velvia 100 to Santa Fe with two 6x7 bodies a couple of weeks ago to test side-by-side but all I shot was digital instead ... next time I'll drag the medium format out is Oct for a trip to New England to shoot fall colors so I guess I'm gonna just shoot it without testing first, something I've never done before.

I find Velvia 100 to be very oversaturated.

How does it compare to Kodak Ektachrome Plus (EPP)? > How does it compare to Kodak Ektachrome Plus (EPP)? I find I like EPP for interiors, as its more neutral than other films when incandescent and flash are mixed and a long exposure is used. That stated I wouldn't be overly anxious to use the Velvia inside, mainly because I have used E100vs while doing interiors on occasion and based on that would anticipate that Velvia would over saturate the colors of the room. In terms of sharpness?, maybe on par or even better,...but I'll have to look again & dig out the job folder & EPP shots I made this past winter.
