Er.... From B&H, it's around S$14. So expect the price to be somewhere around there.....

Ouch. $14?

If thats the case, i really hope they don't phase out the velvia 50..

While I were in Japan in June, overheard the storemen there talking about Velvia 100 taking over Velvia 50. But for the Japanese market, they actually have 2 versions of the film, Velvia 100 and Velvia 100F. From the introduction brochure, I gathered that Velvia 100 has the same level of colour saturation as Velvia 50 but with the 1 stop increase in speed. Velvia 100F has decreased grain size, RMS 8, and slightly more saturation than Provia 100F.

However, I heard for the American and local market, they are going to bring in Velvia 100F only. Felt that Velvia 100 would had been a better replacement for Velvia 50.

Is Astia 100F in?

Tuck Loong · 25th September 2003

Yup, used these 2 films in Vietnam, courtesy of Fuji Vietnam =)

I like the new Astia 100F for portraits, especially for Asian skin =)

The new Velvia has one of the best RMS I have seen for any "Fuji" films =)

Cheers,
