Did you use the Provia 400F first and then the rolls of Velvia ? Seems like your camera is/was set to ISO 400 for the Velvia shots as well. Have you used the manual override of the ISO setting ? Did you check that the ISO display correctly showed ISO 50 when the Velvia was loaded ? I have seen the automatic ISO setting sometimes fail on my Z-1 due to bad electrical contacts (the contacts in the film roll chamber). I automatically check the ISO setting of my camera every time after loading a new roll of film (a habit which I have picked from using the manual Pentax bodies like my LX) and sometimes check it again if the body has been sitting unused a long time.
