+1 for box speed but prioritizing shadows / foreground when metering and letting highlights go wherever they want to 😉
Agreed on box speed in full sun.
But I would assume anyone using Ektar (over Portra) wants colors that pop a bit more (but less than Velvia), so rather than meter for fully defined shadows, I would instead meter to preserve the highlights (Ektar has a limited dynamic range, it is relatively easy to lose the highlights) and let the shadows fall where they land. Nothing wrong with dark shadows.
