There are many discussions on the internet for using lightmeters, either

When it comes down to B/W films, methods such as the zone system or BTZS
are mentioned.

How do the visitors here like to use their lightmeters for exposing B/W
films for enlarging or contacts in the wet darkroom?


I don't. I have an old spot-type print analyzer that I use
to get dynamic range and then time settings. It would seem
to me that a light meter, unless it is a spot meter, is not
going to be all that useful in the darkroom.

I should have made my post more clear. I meant exposing the films in camera.
I mentioned the wet darkroom, because that is how I make my prints.
