Are yoy planning on shooting with studio strobes, or continuous light? If you are shooting with continuous light, then the in camera meter will be as accurate as anything. If you are shooting with studio strobe, then it depends on how much of the work you want to do. If you are going to do the flash calculations yourself, using guide numbers and flash to subject distances, then that will be as acurate as the meter, presuming you can get an accurate estimate of your studio unit's output (hint: you'll need a flash meter). I wouldn't want to do it this way. I like knowing that the exposures will be close to correct. William Robb
