Thanks, Tom!
That's what I htought too - maybe I hit the expose comp dial by accident or somehow locked the ISO at 50 instead of leaving it at auto. But the data imprinitng in the film header shows ISO 100, the exposure data per the imprinitng seem to be equivalent between the Velvia and E100VS, and the data imprinting shows just -1, 0, and +1 compensation, per the bracketing...I would suspect a setting rather than a failure. From what you say, the overexposure is consistent, which wouldn't jive with cold batteries or a sticky shutter. With weak batteries you'd be hearing the motor drive crap out before the shutter was affected. My first thought was that maybe the shutter mechanism stiffened up when you opened the back to change film, but I don't think your bracket exposures would look right. I don't think the exposures would be consistent, nor the individual exposures even.
I shot the Velvia at ISO 50 - my preference for tihs kind of shooting, since the biggest challenge is preserving detail in the moon. So, no manual override of the ISO... Slides are mounted - I pulled out some of the velvia that were throw-aways due to the bracketing, and looked at several of the E100VS since they are all throw-aways...Having said that, I'm still not sure. Do you shoot Velvia at 40? Did your subject matter change? Did you at any point before loading this roll manually set your ISO? Are your slides mounted?
