I've been using Velvia for years and find that on my OM4t and Nikon
equipment, I get the best results (for landscape, flowers, water shots,
and architecture) setting the ASA to 64 and then setting the exposure
compensationtto -2/3. However, I like very saturated brilliant color
and this technique works very well in the southwest, west, Colorado
plateau, and Mediterranean where the light is crisp and intense. Hope
that helps.
