I find Velvia to be good when the lighting is very flat and colors naturally de-saturate. Bad weather days, very early morning, etc. Then the film compensates quite well. Otherwise it does make everything look a bit too strong. Agfa RSX, Fuji Provia F and the Kodak Ektachromes are all good general purpose films. I just consider Velvia to be a specialty film to be used when conditions are right - or was that wrong...
