All of your moon shots have the moon over exposed. The brightness range is really too great to get anything except the moon properly exposed or get the rest of the shot with some kind of correct exposure and let the moon's exposure fall where it may. Those are your choices unless you're

I'm going to run a roll of velvia 100 that someone handed me the other day through my zx-7. I will probably do nothing but mostly tripod landscapes and what not. Since I will likely be using an older 50mm mostly, I will just have center weighted metering at my disposal. I know that for slide

I say do it. The shots you take with the film will have to count a lot more and you will be forced to take more time. If your budget is low, you probably don't have many other options anyways. What do you have to lose? This is a once in a lifetime opputunity, have some fun with it. Aahz Maruch

I'd opt for focus, meter and recompose if you're going to use centre-weighted metering, but a lot depends on the type of sky you will have. I used to find that a clear blue sky did not need any adjustment to CW-metering, whereas a sky with clouds would probably need some adjustment. Why not
