Velvia 100F is more accurate than other low-speed Fuji slide films.
The fact that few photographers seem to like it probably indicates
that photographers do not appreciate accuracy.

Velvia 50 (old and new) homogenizes greens and has terrible skin tones.

Provia 100F has weak yellow response, which makes it go blue easily
in cold and shade; also yellow-greens of mediterranean vegetation
are poorly rendered.  (You can think of Velvia 100F as an improved
warmer version of Provia 100F but with worse reciprocity.)

Velvia 100 has higher red response than 100F, causing blow-out and
red clipping in scans.  It seems more popular than Velvia 100F
judging by photo-forums, and many photographers have switched to it
from classic Velvia 50.

I don't use any of them, so take my comments with a grain of salt.
