Thanks for playing the game.  Not surprisingly , you are all right.  Th first is Velvia 50.  A little surprised that Gary likes the Ektar better.  Seeing them side by side like this makes me think that I could work on the Ektar a little bit more to do it more justice. 

 

Adam , Velvia gives a more vivid color than Ektar.

That's how I could choose on your photos

In some situation , it's useful and it's like in the reality :)

Thanks, Henry.  Actually, the velvia 50 didn't quite produce actual reality.  The colors are much more punchy and balanced that what you would have seen in person, even with polarizing sunglasses.  But to me that doesn't matter, the velvia produces a crisp 3D finely balanced image with punchy "incredible but real" (forgot the French translation) colors, which to me works nicely here.  IT is interesting that the unevenness in the color in the sky might suggest that I used a polarizing filter on my wide angle SWC (which I've taught myself is a big no no in early morning light like this).  But I didn't use any filter, and the velvia picked up on the unevenness and with its deep saturation created a similar effect.  Would have like more evenness, but the sun was rising on the left and there was no way to get it.

Interesting remark Adam

(LF Wiki)

as said Erwin Puts in his Leica Chronicle :

 

" It is a compact lens and high performance which can be used for reportage style of photography  where its high class definition can add new meaning to the picture. At the maximum aperture (ie 4) it has a high contrast and a high definition, a remarkable micro contrast with contours of subjects very sharp ....... a great choice for studio portraits"

Not all a case of "better" Adam, more the time of day, it seemed to be warm, low light, and the Ektar (to me) in this instance showed that more how I liked. Subjective for sure.

Another from some of that unknown film, all it has on the film edge is "570 40".
