(Um, where were you earlier this week, during the Velvia-speed discussion?;-)
I rate it at 40, but if green predominates, I may boost my rating to 50
or even 64 with pure, backlit green (for me, Velvia does seem to change speed
with different strong predominant colors - with pure orange, I shift to 32,
or even to 25 with pure red).
Hope This Helps
