My impression is that most who have tried Velvia 100F are dissapointed as it has neither the sharpness or the color palette of the original Velvia. It is probably a good film anyway but apparently doesn't meet the expectations the Velvia name bring.
It seems like the most important design parametres for slide film in this digital age is small grain and the ability to scan well.
And the test in Japan CAPA magazine also indicates the 100F doesn't have the characterictis of the 50. In fact, some of the pics shown were quite differemnt in colour rendition. They aren't as vivid as the original.
