Gee Collin, my E-10 works fine, ISO is a pain as it's increments are 80,160 and 
320 so I have to do a little conversion however SS and aperture are completely 
transferable. 

Once the contrast setting on the digicam is matched to the film that you are 
shooting then you can even refer to the digicam histogram with good accuracy, 
I've never owned a light meter as flexible as my E-10.

It's a brilliant tool for very fast assessment of exposure changes when dealing 
with critical subject matter, far better than Polaroid instant pics ever were.
