Two things:
1. Remember as with any slide film that you exposure range is narrower than
color print film. With slides the range is about + and - 1.5 stops to still
have detail. While color print adds another good stop or so on each end. In
other words you need to make sure your exposures right with slides as the
results will be much less forgiving than with color print.
2. Many people recommend setting your meter for ISO 40 instead of 50 for
Velvia. I guess part of this is they prefer to remove some of the saturation
that one gets from Velvia.
