Ok. I just used the guide sheet that came with the film when a meter
wasn't working.


And there is nothin' wrong with that. That's how most exposures were
made before the advent of light meters.

Of course, someone these days might complain that it's discrimatory or
sumptin' like that and higher a hoidy toidy trail lawyer to empty out
Kodak's coffers...

When I was shooting a lot, I carried an old Sekonic incident meter that
I used a lot when shooting


I can't remember the first meter I used. The second was a Pentax that I
got when I got the Spotmatic.

either work anymore...
