Mike Tatum of Plymouth Products fame, advised me to use a Sekonic incident meter in 1968, and I found it to provide much more accuracy than trying to measure everything in the scene using a reflectance meter and then averaging. (Mike used the Leica system.) I still like to use the old Sekonic and check the R-8 reading.
