This day was my first serious attempt at photographuing the landscape in snow. I bracketed wildly and metered everywhere but only a fraction of my slides were well exposed. Happy as I am with this image I shall be investing in a light meter very soon rather than waste all that film again!
Alex, thanks for adding a comment to that rather folorn shot of mine. To answer your question, I love my TX-1 and probably take the most shots with it these days. Apart from the panorama function I appreciate AE and motor wind, and 45mm is a favourite FL of mine in non-panorama mode too. I don't use ND filters at all, mostly relying on PaintShop Pro (the poor man's PhotoShop) to cope with any unevenness in the exposure. The TX-1 does allow exposure bracketing in very quick succession, so I can sometimes combine two different exposures to get one good picture--if I've use a tripod, that is. I do, however, use a polarizing filter with my Voigtlander 35mm/F2.5, which is very nice lens for landscapes. Back to the TX-1, I don't even use a radial luminance filter with it, which is often really desirable. Instead, I cope with the Cosine-law fall-off in illumination at the edges using software. It's not perfect, but the RL filter costs as much as a good second-hand lens and I can't justify the cost.
You might find Provia or even Fuji New Pro (negative) easier to expose. Velvia can give you blocked highlights and dense shadows on the same slide! I like the natural colours and much better exposure latitude of New Pro... I fear that a meter will not resolve the basic problem. This one does capture the atmosphere up there, though. Well done!
