Well, Boris, the latitude is there, it just may be that the strong Israeli sun creates a much greater contrast range than in other parts of the world. OTOH, my comment was made with the idea of including post processing as part of the scheme. Not knowing what programs you're using, or what your skill level is with that program, it's hard for anyone sitting half way around the world from you to know what the full potential is for you in Israel.
That said - and I don't mean it to be a slight in any way - every scene is different, even where the sun may not shine so brightly. And the choice of exposure is also decided by how you want to present the final photograph. That's been a constant regardless of what kind of film you shoot, or if you use a DSLR.
