A fine grain, pro film. Just not quite the saturation of the beloved 50.

Although Velvia 100 renders high color saturation, fine detail, and sharp details, it does not have the contrast to belong to the Velvia family. If one was thinking of using Velvia 50 or 100, I would recommend Velvia 50 over this film unless if speed was extremely important. However, the lack of contrast does not hinder this from being a great film!

I was impressed by the colour rendition and consistency after my pictures in Tanzania - Africa. Well saturated and balanced on cloudy days, magically warm at dawn and sunset, catching the Savana atmosphere[...]
the film shifts all things red,
even in bright sunlight.
this was particularly evident
when cross-processed in C41.
I'VE FOUND THIS FILM TO BE A GOOD COMPROMISE FOR LANDSCAPES, NATURE CLOSE-UPS SUCH AS FLOWERS AND ANIMALS
Very saturated and bright vivid colors. I would use this for landscapes, sunsets, sunrises, flowers and other forms of nature. I would not use this for people/portraits because saturated skin tones make people look ugly.

Perhaps not quite as saturated as the original Velvia (RVP), but the fine grain and extra speed are so welcome it's now the only film I carry for wildlife and nature. It not only performs well at 100 ISO (or at 125, where I usually rate it), but when pushed to 250 or even 400.
