As many of you will know, Fuji Velvia 50 is a very fickle film. I've got a batch which I've had for ages, expired 2009.

Exposed +1 stop over, the results are excellent. This is with my Xpan...

Nicely done Iain, though I have to say that first one is gorgeous
 
Thanks! I've footered with this film for ages with variable results, mostly being seriously underexposed at the rated 50asa. I think I've hit the sweet spot of 25asa (1 stop over) when out of date by 4ish years.

Beautiful, I just love those Velvia greens!
 
Some awesome results!

Slightly off topic here, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've got a few rolls of Sensia, Velvia and Provia. All expired between 2008 and 2012. Would anyone have any 'best' ways to shoot in terms of exposure metering?

It's not the type of film to burn through as a test, and I don't have much of it...

Would over exposure by 1 stop help me? what about the newer films (exp 2011 / 2012 kind of age)?
 
I'd go for about 1/3 to 1/2 of a stop personally Ashley.
 
Thanks Rob. Appreciate it!

Whilst the weather's like this I'm going to give some sunset / sunrise shots a burst. not usually my thing as such, but I've never used slide film and feel the need to play with it :)
 
Ivan only comment on my experience with Velvia 50, but I found +.5 was still underexposed on mine, but +1 seemed to be just about right.
 
You are the second person to say that Velvia works best when overexposed slightly, OSH exposes all his stuff at ISO40.

I would agree with this as my last roll, shot at ISO50, was underexposed.
