Fujicolor 100 has finer resolution than both Velvia and Kodachrome 64. Tmax 100 can resolve almost anything. It is fairly easy to see the difference between lenses with 4x6 prints from a decent quality lab. I'll take a Bogen tripod over Gitzo, I'll buy the grey market Velvia, but give me premium glass. Tom
