Another question:
Best not to use a Polarize lens w/Velvia because it dose better on it's own
and looses a full stop considering it's ready set at 40, let alone 50ASA?

Dan,
I use a polarizer quite a lot in HI, regardless of film type. With water,
sky, clouds, it makes a huge difference. Be careful with wide angle lenses
and polarizers.
If you go here:

Select "eastend coastline 1" to see the full polarizer effect. It's a
morning shot, early, but sun fully up. Vantage point is facing
northeast. You can see the polarizer effect fade a little to the upper
right corner but not too bad. The ocean had quite a bit of reflective
glare which the PL removed.
If you go here:

the "Baptist Church, Ho'olehua" shows how the polarizer exaggerates the
uneven sky. The sky will be uneven in some directions no matter what you
do, so you decide what you can live with.
You can also "bracket" the polarizer effect too: shoot one with maximum
polarization, then shoot another after backing off the effect a little.
It doesn't make any sense to use a PL when you include the sun in the
frame, so don't use it all the time!
Do you have a tripod? I would strongly recommend it to get the best out of
Velvia or any slow film.
