I agree. I don't speak with a whole lot of experience, but I have
recently shot a couple of rolls of Velvia in my 2n with bracketed
exposures, partly to calibrate the camera, and partly to try to understand
how the film behaves.

Underexposure I find always (so far) better than overexposure. This is
confirmed by a friend who has been using almost all Velvia in his Mamiya
setup for years.

In fact, I'm becoming inclined to a rule of thumb that says even if I
think it's under, underexpose a bit more just to be sure! Currently trying
some experiments on that basis.

regards
  Andrew
