Q. Velvia 100 or Velvia 100F?

I'm just getting back into my film photography having shot quite a few rolls of Tri-x over the last couple of months. With spring coming, I want to get out some good old Velvia. With Velvia 50 now really difficult to get hold of, I'm looking into getting either Velvia 100 or Velvia 100F.
ok, I have no idea which is better suited for landscape photography and all the searches I've done don't seem to give me the answer I'm looking for.
Anyone any advice which is better over the other, I would love to hear your views.
Kind regards
Howie

Hi,
go for Velvia 100 or Provia 100 or 400. Velvia 100F colors aren't all that, lack the spark these other films have.
Also, to get them more saturated, underexpose by 1/2 or 1 stop should conditions allow. This tip only works for slide film. For negatives, it's the opposite - overexpose a bit to get more saturated colors.
Regards,

Thanks for the article and advice on exposure. I've ordered some velvia 100 and should weather permit, I'll be out this weekend :)
