I'm going to Death Valley and would appreciate help in metering those Su/Shade dune scenes on 120 Provia F 100. With my Nikon F I'd bracket.Do I do the same thing here?? George Nedleman

If you are shooting sheet film, one thing you can do with Provia 100F is to shoot 2 shots at the minimum exposure you think is appropriate. Process one, if it is too dark, push process the other by anywhere from 1/2 to 2 stops. Otherwise, bracket.
