Like it reads. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I can get my hands on a roll or two of good'ole E100, 'just that I miss Velvia, and all the opportunities/locations the Summer has offered.
All the more reason Kodak could come out with a warmer, extra sat Ektachrome companion. Like GX was to G....

Fresh Velvia 50 and Provia 100 show up occasionally. Unfortunately you have to search diligently and order immediately. It sells out quickly.

My hopes for Kodak making another variant are low. Most likely the majority of E100 / 100D production is for cinema, where digital post processing can imitate or improve as desired. If it were up to me I’d have Kodak make an ISO 400 version… sigh.

Fresh Velvia 50 and Provia 100 show up VERY VERY occasionally !!! Supply has definitely been getting worse in the 5 years I've been shooting Provia 100f. Pity, because I prefer it to Ektachrome.

All satisfied with Ektachrome 100? I guess so, but for me, I make the most of it, I mean, no other choices out there.
Velvia's absence has been alot longer than expected, leaving a HUGE void that could be filled, but of course all the usual flood of explanations not to.
"...the market wouldn't support it..." "...doesn't make good business sense..." blah blah blah.
Kodak take a risk, take the plunge...

Unless the 16mm and Super 8 cinematographers want it as well, you won't see it I'm afraid.

Some of the 16mm and Super 8ers want back Kodachrome... the rest does use negative film and scanning. Old Ektachrome had more color saturation, new Ektachrome was formulated for lesser saturation to have more natural colors... probably was hard to convince Kodak for more saturation as they decided for lesser...

...but another choice was great.
