why not put it in manual and set shutter speed
approx what you think you will need.
Then fire test shots adjusting fstop until image
looks right on LCD?

Right!  The most practical meter is in the camera...

But will there be a lot of fiddling to go from this meter reading to
the picture taking, like changing mode etc.?  I'm not familiar with
the D as I have not followed much of the discussions about its
virtues and flaws.
