for this quote and more about Velvia: "Simply superb. Undoubtedly the
sharpest color slide film available today." This is simply a well
known,
documented fact. I have no connection to Jafa. I found this by simply
searching on "film tests". Notice that they did not bother to test
Agfachrome.
We were speaking about sharpness here, eh? Not subjective opinions
about low
light color rendition. Which, BTW, I would highly disagree with WC's
opinion
on. Provia is the best film for low light and long exposures. Almost
Zero
reciprocity failure. (BTW, E100VS is also in this category.) If Agfa
makes
it look muddy, they're using technology from another planet.
I would recommend you test for yourself. But if you want the sharpest,
Velvia is it. Anyone who shoots slide film knows this.

I have been using Velvia since it came out and I like it. Not crazy
about Provia F. Looking at sharpness tables is a little like counting
pixels or megaHertz. Not completely related to performance. There is
more to it than that.
