This is a good example of why we need general axis transforms, not just log scale.
For what it's worth, I handle the energy/wavelength case by leaving both x and x2
in energy space, but mapping the x2tic labels through a transform:

  set xtics nomirror
  set xlabel "eV"
  set xrange [2000:20000]
  set autoscale fix
  set for [wavelength in "1 2 3 5 10"] x2tics (wavelength." Å"  12398./wavelength)

  plot log(x)
