On another topic of pairing 35 mm cameras.  Automatic cameras add a
variable, often trading control for ease.  If I shot sports, I might
prefer automatic.  But I shoot stereo and no indoor sports.  I don't
want automatic.  Snow, granite, waterfalls sand, night scenes, sunset
shots do not meter well using automatic systems.  Besides, there is a
kind of Zen to manual photography and zonal metering.  Also unmatched
auto metering has cost me more than a few rolls and some of the shots
that I went to get.

Stereo cameras are easy to use.  So are twinned manuals.  I like any
good manual equipment.  I prefer my Nikkormats with twin 50 mms.  At
least if you set the apertures and shutters you will get what you asked
for.  Provided that you have "listened" to the shutters, knowing that
the most demanding test is at low speeds (a test old Agrus cameras will
rarely pass).

Whenever I enter a place where I am going to run through some film I
look around.  I may play the "guess the exposure game," where I guess
before I meter. If it is sunny I choose 100th as my normal speed and
guess some apertures for ISO 100 for different objects around me.  I
then meter the sky, my hand, a rock, the shadows. I set my focus for 25
ft.  I am ready for deer, bear, or that special shot.  I know that I may
have to focus or open up, but I know where the other settings are at. If
it is a dark day I'll shoot at 1/50 to pickup a stop.

Periodically, I check my light level and my settings.  But after a while
the meter becomes less important. You start to concentrate on being
there and recognizing content.  And you have some earned faith in your
proven equipment.
