Extra pop without the harshness due to steep toe, and much cleaner whites. Works very well with 100S and SW. Use 100S or SW for people and 100VS for scenery as one combination, or 100S for the wideangle stuff and 100VS for telephoto (to balance out the contrast) as another, and you have a great combo. Velvia doesn't work that well with other films; not even Fuji's. * Henning J. Wulff /|\ Wulff Photography & Design /###\ mailto:henningw@archiphoto.com |[ ]| http://www.archiphoto.com
