On the other hand... I recently read a reprint of an article by Bob 
Schwalberg recalling a meeting at which Henri claimed to expose his HP3 
at 400 ASA. Bob asked how he could say this when he rarely used a 
meter. Henri insisted he did, so Bob tested several of his exposure 
estimates against an incident meter, and found to his surprise that 
they matched.
