so i have neglected to get a light meter for a few years because i can adjust exposure based on histogram, etc... and i kind of felt that it was an unnecessary expense, though at times i had situations where they could have saved me a few minutes, i figured a bit of "chimping" would be more cost effective. but over the years i have also acquired some film cameras some of which have no meters at all, so with that in mind, and the other time saving aspects i finally caved in and picked one up. so hopefully this will inspire me to get out and begin doing some things i have avoided a bit due to the restrictions i'd been placing on myself due to being cheap.
