conrad_smith Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Has anybody done a direct comparison of Velvia 100F and Velvia 50 skin tones? My impression after one roll is that 100F does better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 That is my impression as well. the 100F is finer grained as well. The downside for some people is that the colors are not quite as deeply saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedmartini Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I have shot a few rolls so far and would agree that flesh tones do appear to be better but still not optimal. It is still not a film that I would recommend for flesh. Picking up 2 more rolls from the lab today and hopefully will have some scans to share. Michael D.

bill_tuthill Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Thanks for the PDF datasheets, Michael! Nothing about improved skin tones in Velvia 100F, but it's interesting how Fujifilm admits that Velvia 50 produced only one shade of green: <BLOCKQUOTE> [Enables] reproduction of subtle colors beyond the capability of past [RVP?] films, including cyan blue, blue green, yellow green, lemon yellow, purple, and moss green. </BLOCKQUOTE> Official datasheet sharpness is reduced markedly from Velvia 50, but spectral sensitivity is higher and more regular.
