In the early days, when contaxinfo was still a baby, I posted a thread about my RX underexposing. To compensate I've always set the film speed to 80 for a 100 speed film. Invariably that film has been Provia 100F.
Lo and behold, I've just tried the new Velvia 100F and, would you believe it, the darn thing now overexposes slightly.
So, is it the camera, is it the film, is it the photographer (surely not!). Interestingly I've continued to shove Provia 100F through my T2 and through a cheap Minolta autofocus SLR and they have always exposed beautifully.
Conclusion: it's not the photographer (phew!), it's a combination of the RX's meter and the fact that Provia's slower than 100. I haven't yet pushed Velvia through my other cameras so I don't know whether that's faster than 100, it certainly seems faster than the Provia however.
Anyone else had similar results?
