IMHO,

Unfortunately, E100VS does have the contrast of Velvia. It has the most
brilliant, saturated Red I have ever seen. Yellow and Green are right up
there too. It seems to handle underexposure a little better than Velvia,
builds up contrast and saturation (a Kodak trait), while Velvia simply goes
muddy by losing it's shadow density.

As Donal said. This seems to be a good film for publication. Not so great
for slide shows. It will scan well.
