my experience with Provia 100F is that unless you are shooting top quality
lenses, the lens is the limiting factor with technique being a close second.
i get slightly more detail with Provia 100F with a lot more hassle and a lot
more variable color. with Velvia, the detail differences are much more
apparent, but it still is a lot more hassle and color consistency, even with
a profiled scanner, is still hard. OTOH, i found the grain in Provia 100F
objectionable but it was the only game in town with the right combination of
speed and color rendition. i didn't like Ektachrome as much, and Velvia's
contrast was too high to use as often as i would like, in addition to being
slow.

I haven't shot a lot of landscapes but those that I recall showed good
detail. I made a print from one of Jostein's RAW files that included a lot
of trees in the medium distance. If I remember correctly, the detail was
quite good.
