X100 colour comparison

The X100 seems to have some distortion in the lines of the stairs along the bottom. Consequently I prefer the film shot, even though it's a bit warmer.

Oh, and how much does the lens used have to do with colors in an image?
 
The comparison is worthless. You can easily remove the color cast in scanning, or post processing. As others have mentioned, the X100 version is most accurate, but that doesn't mean that you can't get the exact same result using film.

I use Vuescan
It does not have the profle for the NEW Portra 160, that is correct. I use the profile for Portra 160 VC

I use Silverfast rather than Vuescan, so the profiling system will likely behave somewhat differently, but I found that using the Portra 160VC profile with the new Portra 160 gave me really unnatural results with a similar magenta cast to the photos you posted here, whereas using the profile for 160NC instead gave me much more neutral results. If I remember correctly (someone will no doubt correct me if I am wrong), Kodak described the new Portra emulsions as being closer to the old NC than VC, so this would support the finding that the NC profile is perhaps more appropriate.
