Hm, last year I was shooting the World Championships in Ice Climbing in Austria. As there was a lot of ice around the competitors and an overcast, grey to white sky and I was shooting in an angle of about 30 to 45 degrees up, I tried to meter on the competitors with the spot metering of my EOS 3. Then I curiously asked a colleague standing next to mine, who was using a light meter, about the results of his metering. The difference was between 1 and 1 and a half f-stops. So I decided to try out both results and when I examined my slides at home, I found out, that in this special situation, the light meter was more accurate than my EOS 3 spot metering. As I still have no light meter, used a grey card this year and was happy with the results I got.
