My experience as well. It may not be, theoretically, the most
accurate meter, but it always works for me, which is why I mentioned
this method at the beginning of the thread in response to Fernando's
photo.
I often multispot a variety of midtone objects -- because I can with an OM-4(x).
I bought my original OM-4T when I was anticipating shooting in a slot
canyon with Velvia. Telephoto lens, often pointed nearly straight up,
all in shadow exact for patches of light and reflected light from one
side of the canyon wall to the other. One spot reading in auto mode
and let the camera go for as long as it thinks it needs. I would have
taken an incident light meter if I had thought it would have been of
any use in this situation.
I do think incident light meters are great tools. I wish I hadn't
lost mine and I've yet to replace it.
