[QUOTE="Ray Sachs, post: 60205, member: 365"] Hey, that "yous" is what we grammatically challenged Philly-delphians call each other - it doesn't mean the same as "USE"... :biggrin: Man, this discussion takes me back just a few years. I haven't shot with a camera that didn't have a good internal light meter in a VERY long time (or used the types of separate lighting setups that might otherwise require an external??) - since the earliest days of my photography life really, and I was very young then. I remember having a hand-held meter from my Dad as a kid and I think then getting a better one. And I'm glad I learned to use it at the time. But the idea of using one again sounds sort of like adding up a huge column of numbers with paper and pencil, but without using a spreadsheet (or at least calculator). I've done it way more than often enough to not have any desire to do it again. But good on you to want to train your eye that well.
