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.

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...

That's true, I've swapped to using the old Lunasix 3 meter, just taking average readings and seeing how that compares.

I'm also keeping a journal off each film I shoot, what subjects, weather and settings.

Also here's some Olympus XA + Ilford XP2 Super.
