I found VS to have a bit less contrast than Velvia, and a wonderful ability not to oversaturate a blue sky as Velvia does. My comparison was side by side with shots taken outdoors.

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. Jim
