ravi_swamy Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I don't know. I shoot mostly Velvia 50 and I don't like the 100F as much. I hope it is as good as 50 but I'm very suspicious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_meeker Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Is this not the Fuji Velvia 100 (not 50) that I've been shooting for about a year? What's new about this one? Reagrds, Frank M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pensacolaphoto Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have also read about the Velvia 100 for some time now. Is this a new "new Velvia", improving last year's Velvia 100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry_a Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 This will have the Velvia shooters SCREAMING! "Availability - The new Fujichrome Velvia 100 is designed to replace the current Velvia 50 product line. Initial shipments of the new Velvia 100 are scheduled for late spring 2005. It is anticipated that Velvia 50 will be available for the balance of 2005. Fujifilm intends to make the transition from Velvia 50 to the new Velvia 100 as smooth as possible for professional photographers by having both Velvia products available simultaneously in 2005 to allow photographers time to test the new product."

red dawn Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi actually i think velvia 100F is not the same as Velvia 100. velvia 100F has been available for some time (in Singapore where i live too), but it was reported to be almost similar to provia 100F, and lacking the characteristics that define Velvia 50. Velvia 100 is supposed to be the true successor to Velvia 50. and if i am not mistaken, both velvia 100 and 100f have been available in Japan? i might be wrong though, as i don't shoot fujifilm anymore. personally i prefer the Kodak lineup of E100VS, E100G, E100GX and E200....

max_fun Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 According to the film forum (which is really helpful I must add), the new Velvia 100 is different from the Velvia 100F, in that it's supposed to have somewhat more contrast than the 100F, ie. somewhat closer to Velvia 50. It's supposed to be available in Japan already, but it's only being released in the US. Personally, I prefer the 100F to Provia 100 because I haven't hit the horrible blue color cast yet, and the contast is not so strong as Velvia 50 that it gets tricky to shoot.

stuart_richardson Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I am fairly certain that this film has been available for quite some time in Japan. I remember shooting it last summer. <P><a href="http://yodobashi.com/enjoy/more/i/cat_13_44_1927163/10283412.html"> Velvia 100 </a> <P>I don't think it was considered to be quite as saturated as the original, but better with skin tones. That's just what I remember, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_richardson Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Actually, I did not even realize it, but I have 3 rolls in the freezer. Hmm, perhaps some day I could do a comparison between the two films....or maybe I will just shoot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_s4 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 The article differentiates 100 from 100F in more than one place: <blockquote><i>Fujichrome Velvia 100 boasts an RMS* granularity of 8**, a significant improvement over Velvia 50 and ranking it alongside other Fujifilm professional film products, such as Fujichrome Astia 100F, Fujichrome Provia 100F and Fujichrome <b>Velvia 100F</b> as the finest grained in its speed class.</i></blockquote> <blockquote><i>X-Coupler technology: A unique cyan coupler developed by Fujifilm and employed in such products as <b>Velvia 100F</b>.</i></blockquote <blockquote><i>The multi-color correction layers that contribute to faithful color reproduction in Fujichrome <b>Velvia 100F</b> have been reworked to function as color extension layers in Velvia 100.</i></blockquote> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
