Back in my photo lab days (lab rat), we called Velvia "the clown film".

If you want saturated colors there is no substitute. We only had the 50 ISO back then.

Every X series Fujifilm camera I have lets me get VELVIA at the flick of a switch.

I compared the real Velvia film and the Velvia digital and it's hard to tell which is which. It is like scanning the real film velvia into a digital image. Fujifilm invented Velvia, so they have the authority to make it to a digital clone.

You can play around with this image by going to this page: (Velvia is second on top from left. Click on other buttons to see the effects.)

i have a velvia setting on my x-pro1 but it does tend to turn skin orange. but great for non-skin situations.

i did some velvia 50 slides once and was pleased with the outcome.

DxO Optics sells a program that edits your RAW camera files and can simulate the analog grain/texture/response of any film including Fuji Velvia.
