Mark, my calculations are: Both frames were shot at f13 on AV. Your last frame of Velvia was shot at 1.5 seconds, + 1stop exposure bracketing. You then changed films to E100Vs, and changed the film speed rating to 100 (or let the system set it automatically from the DX code) The first frame of E100Vs, at normal exposures, should be shot at .375 seconds, displayed as 3 in the imprint. The reported settings confirm that this is what the camera was doing.
So how is it so wrong? And I agree that the Velvia at 1 stop over looks ok, but my personal preference would be to go down 1 more stop, in fact to normal. I would conclude that: The film was processed as an ISO50 film - did you do it yourself? The film was mis-labelled - rare, I know, and was actually an ISO50 film in the wrong can. Do you have any others from the same batch you could test. Moving to the area of wild speculation, I guess! HTH John Coyle Brisbane, Australia > If I did, the data imprinting does not show it.
