Just a point of interest regarding Velvia - I find that it suffers much
more from reciprocity failure than any other slide film I've used. I do
quite a lot of long-exposure photography so that's a concern for me.
Two shots here show the effect:

Taken a few minutes apart inside St Peter's in the Vatican a couple of
weeks ago - metered using ISO 50 for both, exposures were about 2s and
about 30s. That heavy green shift in the longer exposure mars the shot
in my opinion.
I'm not a regular Velvia user - apart from the reciprocity failure it's
just too contrasty for me really. I think this photo could have worked
on many other films but not Velvia:

Should have stuck to Sensia 100!
