Photo John posted a press release about new Velvia 100 in the News & Rumors forum.

I'm usually asking people not to double post here but it was the next line of the post that made me spit out my coffee:

"Successor to Velvia 50 Offers Higher Speed and Finer Grain"

I'm not totally anti-change, but when Velvia 100F came out a couple of years ago it was supposed to be (from everything I read) pretty similar to Velvia 50, just a stop faster. So I tried it, and it's nothing like Velvia 50. Not a bad film; just not Velvia, that's all.

Don't get me wrong - I'm looking forward to trying this new film but sorry to see that Velvia 50 will disappear at the end of this year.
