In stereo photography, it's usually better to use your focus scale to
achieve maxumun depth of field.  Quite often you will wind up using the
hyper-focal setting.
Your subject will be in focus, but you will not have focused on the
subject exactly.
I almost never use the rangefinder in my cameras that have one.

So let's see now.  I try not to use my meter if I don't have to, and I
don't use the rangefinder.  What can I not use next?
