I shot another trial roll yesterday, along with the end of a roll of the new Ektachrome. The Lab processed it this morning.
The two rolls were each shot in Olympus bodies - OM-4T for the Ektachrome and OM-2S for the Fuji Velvia (from Lot 18).
I used the same lens for each comparison shot, switching from body to body, in each case relying on a Manfrotto quick mount shoe on each camera and a Manfotto ball head on my tripod.
I set both cameras for the box speed of the loaded film - 100 for the Ektachrome, 50 for the Velvia and relied on the off the film metering built into both bodies. I used the same aperture setting for each set of matched comparison shots.
The shots were bracketed: 2/3 less than what the camera meter indicated, what the camera meter indicated, and 2/3 more than what the camera meter indicated.
My conclusions:
1) the Fuji film hasn't lost any material amount of speed or contrast;
2) the Fuji film shows a very slight shift to the magenta - small enough to be pleasing to some; and
3) the Fuji film looks like Velvia, and the new Ektachrome film looks like Ektachrome .
Here is a side by side digital camera comparison of a couple of the bracketed test shots - still in sleeving material, and not particularly well adjusted for the colour temperature of the backlight:



And here is a digital camera shot of the slides from the Fuji roll in a Printfile page - also not particularly well adjusted for the colour temperature of the backlight:

I just realized that I neglected to update the tables above to reflect the fact that all the RVP 100F is now sold - they have now been updated accordingly.
I have also received an enquiry about the remaining 7 rolls in lot 7.
But there is other fine film still waiting for your order!

Lot 5 is now sold.
There are just 89 rolls left - including some complete 20 roll boxes - get them while you still can.
If anyone is interested in multiple (20 or more) rolls, I will certainly consider offers.

I've had an enquiry respecting all the remaining film. It was good that I did, because my review of the remaining inventory made me realize that I had forgotten to record the earlier sale of lot 9 - now updated accordingly.
I'll update further depending on how things go with the enquiry respecting the remaining 69 roll.

All the film has now been sold, and I will be sending more money to Photrio and closing this thread.
Thanks everyone!
