The purpose of  my discussion was simply to encourage photographers 
who haven't liked Velvia's intense colors to try rating it at slower 
speeds. Why bother? Because it is possible to make bright slides that 
don't look washed out using this film. Such slides are excellent for 
3D projection. 

I did mess up in the writing of the post -- I meant to say that there 
were engineers, _within Fuji_, who believe that Velvia is about 
an ASA 32 film -- in this I am repeating information posted earlier 
on this list. The use of ASA here is probably suspect as well -- I 
should have said E.I. 

Sloppy writing it was, but not BS. I say again, and Fuji agrees, the 
majority of photographers will prefer shooting Velvia at speeds 
slower than those shown on the box.
