I know a few people who do this - on the basis that Fuji "overrate" the
ISO in order to produce consistent underexposure and hence squeeze a bit
more saturation out. It's a bit subjective, and also related to the
camera/meter. Me, I expose at 50 on my Hasselblad 500 using a spot
meter, 50 (usually) on my EOS3 but always 40 on my Rollei 35.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I'm one of them. I find the Velvia a little too dark for my taste (on
any camera, so I don't think it is meter-related). Anyway the Velvia 50
is out of production now, so this won't be an issue for very long
anymore
