I most often meter with a handheld Minolta AutoMeter III or with in-camera spot meters. I switched to 80 because I thought my first several rolls of Provia were a tad underexposed in general. Having said that, I don't know that it's relavent to you how others rate the film. I adjusted the exposure compensation on both of my Nikon meters with so they both produce the same reading on the same subject, and produce the same results on a gray card in full sun as the handheld incident meter. For all I know, they're all off by a third of a stop! I do know that I get reliable exposures on Astia this way. If you consider your shots properly exposed when you rate Astia at 100, then I would stick with it.
