Here, here. I fully concur. I've fully utilized "zen-metering" since I
discovered that IR on a sunny day tracks consistently with the "sunny 16"
rule, but as soon as you get under foliage, etc things go "nuts."  The best
exposure meter you can buy is right between your ears (along with the
experience of shooting lots of film).
