Under hazy bright to cloudy conditions, I've watched the exposure change by as much as two stops while I'm in a single two-hour shoot. Since I generally shoot transparency film for my paid work, a handheld meter is essential. Ditto when I add flash fill from a strobe mounted in a reflector. Of course I work with manual cameras, primarily an early 6x7.

Any photographer worth his/her salt frankly shouldn't need a hand held meter.
Outside, now, 1/250th at F2.8, 100asa. Bright sunny day in England - never
more than 1/500th at F8, 100asa. Inside the shop, 1/30th at F2.8, 100asa.
