I've gotten good results with EI 40 when either whipping out the old incident meter or pointing the camera at something which seemed like a plausible 18%. If you want to get more sophisticated than that (or even if you don't), you really need to burn at least one test roll before taking pictures of anything you care about. Not much room for error with Velvia (but hitting the sweet spot is so rewarding!) Luckily, most cities with working photographers have quick-turnaround E6 labs. Get thee out and shooting! -Jeff Moore <jbm@instinet.com>
