In addition to the other coments, I´d recomend the "John Shaw's"-way, when
you`re serious about slide film. He strongly recomends you`r own test`s and
not care about recomendations from others.
When youre using different equipment for slide viewing, you might need different
meter setting for the same film, than your neighbour.
Method: You need a average test subject, (adding a gray card recomended, but not
necessay). Use the factory-value as starting point. And shoot a bracketing
series
with the surrounding ASA settings.
Then compare the slides under your intended showing conditions. Select the
exposure YOU like best, and further use this value for the film.
