If you were shooting 200 ASA color neg the hey just guess what the heck! with the IIIF most any meter would dwarf the camera seems silly. But if one is shooting slide film and a bigger M then NOT using meter seems crazy. Unless someone has a carrousel with 36 consecutive numbered perfectly exposed slides in it to prove me wrong! I shoot manly black and white and if my battery goes out I seem to be able to make it home (on foot) OK and those shots amazingly seem to come out fine. After 38 years a question as to my instincts the answer is "Yes" ! The weather report is "yes"! The idiot report is "Yes"!
