I have the impression - I haven't shot the two side by side - that Velvia
100F is less saturated that the old 50. It seems to be somewhere between say
Provia 100F and the old Velvia.

The non-flash people shots on the roll (I did not post them, but there were
some) also were too saturated and too warm. I have not shot a lot of Velvia
50 but it seems to me that this one has similar characteristics to it but a
higher speed, so from that point of view it is a successful effort. I will
use is in landscape or nature photography, especially if the light is dull.
