Does anyone use Velvia 100F with a different ISO setting than the one given
by the producer ? Some people use Sensia 100 with a 125 ISO setting claiming
it is the proper one as the curve shows; similarily some use 125 or even 160
ISO setting for Provia 100 F.
I just wanted to ask if someone has any experience of this sort with Velvia
100F. I'm using Nikon F80, haven't used velvia 100f before, going on
holidays, don't want to spoil my pictures.

thanks for suggestions

You could try a 1/2 stop more exposure if you don't wish to bracket.
When I shoot important stuff I bracket. It really depends on too many factors
like your metering technique and other issues to give a patent answer.

My suggestion would be for you to shoot an entire test roll of Velvia
100F at various ISO settings and have the film processed so you can
judge the results by yourself BEFORE you go on your holiday.

It's usually not a good idea to go on a trip using a film that you
haven't used before. It's always better to test a new film at home.
