I still have a hard time believing that this stuff actually displaced Kodachrome as the saturated slide film of choice. Kodachrome may have been highly saturated but it still had some relationship to the colors of nature. REPLY: I took a test as a reaction to this myth about ten years ago. I shot the same scene (forest interior in overcast mid day light) with Kodachrome 64 and Velvia. Two weeks later I went back under similar light and compared the slides with reality. Guess what? The Kodachrome was truly way off from reality. It was completely unable to render the color green in anyway resembling reality: it was greyish and total flat. Kodachrome blues is also way off with a grey tint. Velvia was closer to reality being able to render the vibrancy of the greens. It is saturated but not by much compared to reality....
