List members in the past say to set your OM to 40asa.
So that being the case the film is being over exposed to reduce the
intensity of the character Velvia 50

I agree. I don't speak with a whole lot of experience, but I have
recently shot a couple of rolls of Velvia in my 2n with bracketed
exposures, partly to calibrate the camera, and partly to try to
understand
how the film behaves.
Underexposure I find always (so far) better than overexposure. This is
confirmed by a friend who has been using almost all Velvia in his Mamiya
setup for years.
In fact, I'm becoming inclined to a rule of thumb that says even if I
think it's under, underexpose a bit more just to be sure! Currently
trying
some experiments on that basis.

Andrew
