If you want a similar look but without the dMax, the contrast, and the out of gamma color space then Velvia 100F would be a better choice. Personally, I have fine tuned the exposure of Velvia 100 to mostly get what I want. The trick is that latitude is really only about 1/3 stop in either direction. One of my SL's runs about 1/3 stop hot and it just blows out the highlights unless I shoot 100 at about 125 ISO.
