Totally agree with John here, just shoot at rated speed for the first
time trial on slide film. On the other hand you will never know your
camera is "right on" or not with print film, their latitude is just
too high, I can't even distinglish two stops over on the negative. I
shoot all slides at rated speed but for my OM4 I set it to ISO80 for
ISO100 slides because the camera's metering is a bit high (around 0.2
to 0.3 stop under).
