I used to do a lot of manual flash photography, sometimes using the scale, other times with a flash meter. Infrequently, Most of my flash work is now done TTL, but I still use a couple of manual strobes with reflectors and a flash meter for tabletop studio work. One of them is an old Honeywell 890, still a powerful unit. Paul
