I totally agree. My cameras just top out at f16 and 1/100 :( and I don't
always know what lighting conditions I may run into during that roll of
film.
I find having some neutral density filters around can sure save my butt when
I have too much light, but they can be hard to find for the older cameras.

I've found some daylight situations where the combination of F22 and 
1/200 works well for 400 speed film...
There's also something to be said for shooting in conditions other than
bright sunlight...
