Using Velvia is a question of tradeoffs--what do you want to expose for, the
highlights or shadows. I usually expose Velvia at 40 because I don't like my
shadows to go dark and the 1/3 stop difference from the rated speed of 50
opens up the shadows just a bit. Then of course the highlights might get
blown out from this contrasty film. I also like to print on Ilfochrome or Fuji
Supergloss which accentuates the problem because these are also contrasty.
If you are shooting indoors in a museum type setting, the light might be very
contrasty. You might try, as a backup, some print film if the shot is
important because of the greater latitude with C41 film. Kodak RG 100 might
be your best bet here.
