I think Adrian was addressing the contrast evaluation rather than the exposure adjustment. With just a 2 EV range (MX) it's difficult to assess the scene contrast (usually more than 3 EV) just by looking through the viewfinder and moving the camera around. Modern PZ/ZX (Z/MZ) cameras are best suited with their 6 EV bar graph, but a needle meter won't do too bad either (most have a 4 EV display range).
