While on this subject, will underexposing Provia 100f change the saturation?
Since a lot of what i'm shooting is VM format I need that fine grain, but
i'm missing some of the extra saturation I was getting with the Kodak E100S
and SW.

Any tips with this film will be greatly appreciated. I'm leaving on a trip
in the morning with a bag full of film :)

Yes, I recently found a Kodak in great condition for $150 and was able to
put
a few rolls through it at Yosemite two weeks ago.  I'm very pleased with it.

I've been exposing Velvia at 64 but having it processed normally.  When you
overexpose it, are you having the processing altered?  What is your ISO and
how many stops pull?  I will admit the Velvia is contrasty, but I avoid
higher
contrast subjects (dappled light in forest).
