Nice one chassis! TMX gets a bad rap sometimes but I love it. And you know the 58XL is one of my favs!
Thanks Bryan. TMX is a deliberate film because of the speed, and so is the 58 SAXL because of its field of view and resulting perspective. Both together need a deliberate approach. Not all subjects and lighting situations work with a wide lens and slow film.

Thank you, BJ.
A detail shot of the clock/belltower of the Bosque County courhouse. Nikkor M 300mm f9 lens and Fuji Provia 100 film. I struggle with metering slide film.

Excellent exposure, Kenny.
I might have reduced the exposure by 1/3 or 1/2 stop to bring up the saturation of the red roof.
But that's an aesthetic option, not a technical one.
I often shoot multiple exposures spaced 1/3 or 1/2 stop for complex subjects.
Then I select which I prefer after the film is processed. They do differ.

If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.
Thank you both, much appreciated. Leigh, I should bracket more but then my workload goes up once I get home. All kidding aside, it may be just the thing to do from an academic standpoint, as I'm claiming to be woeful at metering.
