I'm 73 years old, and meters have been in common use since I started
serious photography some 50 years ago.


I still have two extinction meters. The filters have become near opaque, but
they are a good reminder of how we worked once.

Once you are used to using them any meter will give good results. You just
have to use experience to get the results.

I am the same age as 'j' but will be 74 on saturday.
