Dear Pentax 67 (6x7) users!

How do You measure exposore on snow?
My first velvia slides from Pentax 67 were underexposed,
I was shooting with Pentax PZ-1p before and this camera has so sophisticated measurement system that it was not needed to do any
corrections. But this is not true with Pentax 67, I was comparing it
with my PZ-1p, it seems so I must correct Pentax 67 with +1 ... +1,5
EV to have good exposed slides when measuring snow.

Another situation is when taking pictures of scene where is the sun.
Than it may be about +4 with Pentax 67, as itīs metering system
can not to be switched to point metering, I think I have to measure
light on snow and add +1 EV, or measure the sky as it is close to
18 percent gray.

thanks for Your ideas
