There is a review of the Velvia on the luminous landscape site. I just got a sample box of Velvia 100F 4x5 to try and 2 rolls of Astia 100F 120 (astia is my most used 4x5 and 8x10 film for both architecture and landscapes. If the 4th layer stuff in any way works it will be a boon + it seems like they are at least going to keep making Astia). This courtesy of the nice, laid back folks at Fuji Iceland - yes, Iceland. Fuji Canada is totally useless they won't even import Astia or 4x5 Quckloads. As for samples - double useless. I'd rather buy from the US (or Iceland...) Not sure about other sizes, but the sheet film isn't due in N America until Fall. tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
