Why no IT-8 target for one of the most popular slide films in the past 30 years.... And it is still in production???????

Dear Hassiman
Because you do not IT8 calibrate for a specific type of film, you calibrate the color response of the scanner.
Cheers

The spectral transmission curve of Velvia is very similar to the Kodak E6 film used for most IT8 transmissive targets. So no need for a specific Velvia target. Although if i remember correctly, there was an individually produced target service by Fuji for a few years. Terribly expensive for a very small gain i was told. Kodachrome, being a different dye technology, had a very different transmission curve and required its own target to properly profile the response of the scanner.
