I'd give them a meter for a week and make them make notes of exposures, then I'd take it away from them. I find myself shooting without a meter a LOT these days and haven't noticed the slightest difference from my metered shots. On chrome I probably would. >>> Believe me, you would. You'd need something like absolute pitch to shoot chromes with a meterless camera. When i was doing a lot of B+W for fun in the 80s, I didn't have a meter. Things came out OK. But I like chromes because either they're right or they're wrong (within narrow limits). And that makes it even more of a challenge. Sometimes my hands are trembling when I get the stuff back from the lab. >>>>> You could steal all my lenses except the 35/1.4 and I wouldn't cry. >>> Bring them to London in December, then. Rob.
