Confidence because I do. I don't blindly follow what it says, I interpret it with experience. btw: Experience also says have an extra meter. Having said this I do make lots of interpretive adjustments to what the meter tells me. I may meter once and adjust for the changes on the fly without consulting the meter. But sometimes you just got to have a meter. People who make their living photographing have an economic gun to their head. That gun might go off if they don't make the exposure they plan for. This "no meter" exposure thing comes up every so often. I guess if you use only one film and one camera you can squeek by making pictures for yourself this way. And if that suits you then go ahead and enjoy yourself. Henry
