I’ve had several very accurate and expensive handheld meters. The meter in my k1 is every bit as good. The only real advantage of handheld is in situations where an incident meter is best, such as a backlit scene. However, Drawing On experience it’s pretty easy to estimate the exposure comp needed. And fine adjustment is easily accomplished in RAW conversion with no loss of quality.
