Sounds fairly clumsy to me, but this is how we can learn. Suggest you give
it a try, make sure to bracket your exposures on either side of the exposure
you determine, then look at the results to see how well the method worked.
Have fun! :-)

I haven't shot transparencies in years. But working with JPEGs in
digital cameras is quite similar:
- Learn to recognize, look for, and place exposure for the Zone VIII
or Zone IX parts of the scene.
- Let the rest fall where it may, you can't do much about it
- Bracket for difficult shots so
Pretty close.
If there are white clouds in the sky, meter them and presume Zone VII
Why not use the meter prism?

I can use the meter prism, but it's a bit of an unknown. I thought this
could give me better control, considering slide film's narrow range. I'm

If you don't use it, it will continue to be a bit of an unknown.
When i was taught this stuff, I was told that for metering slide film,
point the camera up, when shooting negative film, point the camera down.
It worked 35 years ago, I suspect it will still work today.

I find if there is a lot ot bright sky, the meter tends to be over .
I use the incedent meter in these situations with pretty good results.
