Pål, there's only one Velvia 100, and it's called F. After reading a review at Luminous Landscape (can find the link if it's not been posted here), and hearing from the guy at the lab I use (he's handed out a few samples, mine's still in the camera), I'd say that the Velvia 100F is an attempt to cross the Provia 100F with the classic Velvia 50. The result of which is basically a Provia with slightly more saturated colours. Grain like the Provia, ISO like the Provia, contrast more like Provia than Velvia. Colours less saturated than the classic Velvia.
My test motifs will be flowers. Really curious to see results with my own eyes. I suppose this thread started with someone giving their impression. I'll look it up in the archives.

I can't see using this as anyting but a specialty film (it would probably be great for product shots, maybe sunsets and sunrises.) I'll be interested in seeing how Kodak's new films do. > > > REPLY: > Fuji will also release a Velvia 100F. It should be a quite different film. What else could be the resons for two 100ISO Velvia emulsions? Perhaps it is more of an allrounder. > > Pål > > > > >
