Toss your meters, fools!

I'm a bit perplexed at the description of meters as being "new-fangled". 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.

You just have to use experience to get the results. I am the same age as 'j' but will be 74 on saturday. -- Neil Delete l to reply

On the net nobody knows...) I wish they were. The big 80 is on the horizon. My first serious camera was an Ensign Buther slr, 120 format.
