I, and several others with me, have not used a light meter with HIE 
for a long time. 
Perhaps it is the bright-sunlight requirement that creates a 
relatively small range of variation, but I have learned to stick with 
a typical bracket of 1/60s @ f5.6-11 with my Horizon 202, or 1/250s @ 
f2.8-5.6 with tele lenses. Both are fysical limits on their own, as 
the next slower time on the Horizon is 1/8s (and 2-3 seconds panning 
time of the drum), and f2.8 or f4.0 don't allow sharp infinity focus 
(fix focus lens, and point of actual focus is beyond infinity with 
IR!). As for tele use, the day Canon launches an EOS 200/2.8 Image 
Stabilisation lens (gaining at least two stops handheld), I will buy 
it the day before!
