> I would disagree! The one big difference is that the handheld meter will measure incident light, which even the 1V won't do (at least not without the styrofoam cup incident light adapter). I would agree that trying to use a new piece of gear for a big shoot is a recipe for disaster, although if you're shooting it as an amateur, it may only be a waste of film. If it's sunny, use the sunny 16 rule. Otherwise, let the camera do its thing, although it might be wise to apply some exposure compensation on some frames to see what happens (take notes!)
