Is anybody here still using hand metering and if yes, when?
Yes. I have a Sekonic L-608 (electronic, flash, spot, etc) and a Sekonic L-208 Twinmate (analogue, incident and reflected light).
Analog? I don't have one. Got a couple of digital meters, though.
I use a Pentax digital spot meter for all of my medium format work, and any other time when the lighting is too difficult for a centre-weighted meter.
When I bought the Pentax I kept my Sekonic L-328 with the spot meter attachment. I use it extremely rarely now but I won't part with it as it does flash metering (both incident and, with the attachment, spot). Also its battery test is pretty accurate for checking AA batteries.
