What I'm doing is actually a bit different. Say I'm shooting 400 film, I'll set the digital camera to ISO320 so as to bias the exposure on film a bit on the high side and take a couple of test shots to work out shutter speed / aperture depending on which I want to control.
I then transfer these settings to the Rolleicord / Ihagee Exa / Pen D3, all meterless or broken meters. It just doesn't seem to work so well on the Rolleicord, but I don't know why.

Isn't exposures different on the rolleicord different because it's medium format? For example a f2.8 is brighter on medium format then it is on a smaller sensor camera?
I may be completely wrong, feel free to correct me anyone

the 'cord's shutter is inaccurate ? Usually sticky, so really overexposed?

Your digi cam will be able to spot meter if you want.
A shaded area is good to meter because it gets relatively constant indirect-light in those sorts of conditions.
Could be the shutter though...

This is a lovely shot. Not easy to get either.
Regarding metering ... did you meter a spot or the scene? Spot ftw. Any metering that takes in the sky there is going to be under (I'd have thought).
