I'm not suggesting that I am looking for the finest grain. When did
Velvia 100 non-F launch? I was running my lab until May and at that
point we had heard nothing about it -- was it late summer? I have to
wonder what the point is of such a film -- they didn't keep dual
inventory of Provia 100 F and non-F nor Astia 100 F and non-F.
I think I was handed a bunch of sample rolls of the new Velvia 100
(ie not 100F) in either July or August last year. It was ok, but
not the same as the Velvia 50. The saturation was not there,
especially when shooting sunsets and the dusk sky.

For me, personally, the hyper-saturated Velvia look is something I
have never liked. It makes the world look like it's all cartoon colors.
