either; any real pro could calculate exposure by looking at the 
scene....Nowadays the same people will tell you that you need USM and 
multipoint metering in order to cut it. 

I thought what happened was the ones who said pros couldn't use 
battery-dependent cameras and didn't need meters have now retired, and 
the new generation insists upon USM, multipoint metering etc.
