Doesn't this just equate to setting it at ISO 100? I've also read that wildlife
photographers shoot it at 80-100 for better saturation and the extra speed, at
the expense of shadow detail I guess. There was a recent duck shot in Outdoor
Photo with Velvia at ISO 100, and push processed one stop. Looked OK, but very
contrasty.
Having not used my first roll of Velvia yet, none of the above are based on
experience, of course...
