Am I to take it, then, that Velvia produces just as (or just about as)
saturated results as the Ultra 50?

I agree. Based on my one-roll experience, it's probably *not* a good
choice for general use. But, as luck would have it, I shot mostly wall
murals and gaily-decorated buildings in a tourist site. For that purpose,
it turned out perfectly... very rich colors that made the subject standout
beautifully.
Btw, if anyone wants to see a couple of shots taken with Agfa Ultra 50
compared to two similar shots taken with Kirkland (Agfa) 200, take a
look at http://www.nucleus.com/~coneill/mypictures/agfa.html and let
me know what you think.

Chris
