I just bought 7 rolls of the stuff in 120 for a couple of trips I have planned. Looking forward to shooting it. Did you have your lab do it, or did you cross-process at home? Those scans look really good.

I metered this shot with a Pentax Digital Spot meter with an equivalent orange O(G) filter.

Love the last shot. Is there some kind of relation between the film size and metering? I mean if you use a 35mm camera for it's light meter and it give you f4.5 and 1/60 is that valid for 6x9 as well?

Yes, it's the same. It's all math. It's a bit complicated and I know what you're thinking, but I can't find the relevant article on wikipedia right now.

The advantage of a 1º spot meter is I can meter the darkest and brightest spots in a picture, and then choose an exposure that will best capture the full range, not just a weighted average.

I spotmeter all of my landscape shots, and others when I can. I always get good exposures when I do. The same applies no matter what film size you use.

You're completely missing the point of his question. He is asking is exposure relative to sensor(film) size. Spot metering is for the birds.
