Lol no it's not. What is the range in stops of the IRE scale? If I place my highlight on IRE 10 (100) where on the scale do my shadows start blocking up - IRE 1 or higher? Let's assume I'm using Velvia 50.how much ND grad is needed should be obvious...

Does that make sense?
Box speed and, yes, meter for the high values and place them +2 or, at most, +2 1/2 over Zone V. As for the ND filter, I'd meter for the high values through the filter. Sorry, I have a Zone dial on my Pentax meter and don't use the any type of scale.
Unless the contrast ranges are excessive with deep shadows and bright highlights I would simply meter from a simple a grey card
I meter for box speed with Velvia 50 and might reduce exposure just a tad to prevent washout of the highlights. I agree you have to sacrifice the shadows. I had to do that with this one. You can see the shadow on the right I tried to lighten with Lightroom but just got too much noise. SO I left it darker than I wanted too. You can sacrifice the shadows but not the highlights.Unless the contrast ranges are excessive with deep shadows and bright highlights I would simply meter from a simple a grey card There is no way that slide film will be able to cope with brightness ranges in excess of 6 stops. (Especially Velvia) I find it better to have at least some highlight detail, rather than plain burnt out film. Sacrifice the shadows to keep highlight detail.

I use Lightroom to edit the V850 scans. How do I use channel to get raw conversion (in filters)?Even on my laptop screen I can see detail in the shadows. If you were to use a scanner such as the last Nikon ones they have a facility to scan in RAW which will retail all of the detail in the original slide. With PS I would ignore Lightroom (I never use it anyway). With PS you can then recover an amazing amount of detail without being a victim of RAW. Even with a scanner that does not have RAW as an option, scan as TIFF and use the channel to get raw conversion (In filters) and this nearly as good.
