The Velvia 100 (RVP 100) Professional slide film employs special technologies that allow for finer grain and double the sensitivity. It retains the color saturation and color reproduction of Velvia 50, which has become the reference film for landscape and nature photographers. The Fujichrome Velvia 50 has been produced unchanged since 1990 and has since been popular among both professionals and enthusiastic amateurs. Since then, photographers have expressed a desire for a higher sensitivity Velvia slide film. Advances in emulsion technology have now made it possible to create a slide film with the color characteristics of Velvia 50 that features double the sensitivity with finer grain. This generation of Velvia 100 is therefore intended not only to appeal to photographers expecting the distinctive color saturation typical of Velvia but also to provide them with a product that incorporates the current state of the art.
