For important shots in a high contrast situation I definitely fire off
a quick test shot and check the histogram.  Usually I want the
highlights to be just within the range of the sensor.  Basically, it's
like the old slide film experience.

I've, frankly, been surprised at how well the M9 meter works given the
rather simply approach.  I took my spot meter out on one trip and that
was the end of bothering with it.
