I never really got the exposures nailed w/o a meter, but then I never spent
much time w/o one. I have piles of well exposed old Kodachrome slides that my
dad (an admited NON-photographer) shot with an old Argus C-3 and no meter. I
suspect that without the 'crutch' of a meter I could learn to do so as well.

I think if your photography stays in the range of the old Kodak how
to books "sunny 16" works pretty well. You know, "It's a pretty day.
Let's go out and take a picture". I have a fairly good feel for it,
but many times I have been amazed sometimes at what my meter says. It
can be very, very dark on an overcast day in Europe or Thailand. How
much light is filtering through the trees, or through the stained
glass window? How much light is on the stalactites? The sunlight is
brighter and the shadows are blacker at 12,000 feet. I suspect your
own pictures are much more adventurous.
