  • Had been eyeing up the cle! Still torn as to whether I'd be happy going meterless tbh. I swing between oh that sounds fun and romantic and Christ that'll be a pain at times.

  • ..frankly it won't be that much of a pain while shooting, but it will certainly sting your wallet if you don't get it right.

    It's certainly possible to shoot meter-less - when you're smart / experienced, and use forgiving film, in the right circumstances (read: lots of light / stable light situations).
    But forget it if you like to shoot slides, if you have tricky lighting situations, if you're inexperienced with shooting film.

  • I've had a few meterless cameras before. Mainly MF though and didn't find it too much of an annoyance. However shooting MF was a completely different process to 35mm imo.

    I'd be mainly using black and white film at least to begin with.

    Interesting point - how does anyone find shooting dimly lit scenes/ wide open lenses with a manual camera? It's not something I'd really thought about, thinking f2 or below.
