Ralf, I actually suspect that there are four distinct formulations of
Velvia.
1. The original Velvia 50
2. The original Velvia with modified frosted base.
3. Velvia 100.
4. The new old Velvia 50. Probably same as #2.
As to the scanning, the V700 is a mighty nice machine, but over time it has
revealed a few "issues" when scanning high-contrast trannies. Personally, I
think the Nikon Coolscan V-ED is the best scanner in the price-range
currently available. It is built like a tank and is speedy when batch
scanning. I would definitely invest in either the Epson or Canon if I was
shooting medium/large format in addition to 35mm. I don't know what 1800dpi
scanner you are currently using, but stepping up to the V-ED was a real
eye-opener for me. When I need to pull every gram out of a slide, I'll do a
multipass scan with Vuescan and there isn't anything left behind. The DMAX
of the V-ED is outstanding. No shadow noise--period.
