Velvia 100 versus velvia 100F

[Roger Clark]

Has anyone tried the new (in the US) Velvia 100?
It supposedly has the saturation of old Velvia 50, but with
an even finer grain, and better sharpness. Does anyone know if this is true? I have not tried velvia 100F yet but I do have a
box of 4x5 in case my supply of velvia 50 runs out.
If you have tried both velvia 100 and 100F, what differences
do you see?

thanks

It's just been reviewed in the subscription only magazine, f2. Current

Quite an interesting read, except that in my copy the sky on two of the
sample images is a long way from a neutral grey, and as I live in the UK
where the mag is published, I'm very suspicious! I'll stick to Provia 100F.
