Is anybody here still using hand metering and if yes, when?
I still use a Pentax Spotmeter V from time to time. It's invaluable when you want to nail a specific part of a scene -- such as the sky at sunset. It's also great for determining the exposure range of a scene, and the sweeping needle is somehow more telling than a digital readout. It's a wonderful tool. In addition I have the original Pentax analog meter mounted on my H3v. If you know how to analyze what you see theret, it's quite accurate and useful.
