nefarious, a handheld incident meter does slow you down, but goddam, do you really and truly learn about exposure. Also, its never wrong. Interpretation of what type of exposure you want, comes with trial and error. Error in the amount of depth of field for example, or if one is going for a high key exposure, then you will also have learned (by then) what is the right exposure to go for, and not the exact exposure per se.
Hope you see my point.
By the way, I don't know of any relective meter system, handheld, or in-camera, that can be as accurate as a good incident meter.
EDIT:
Oh yes, my favourite camera is the OM1-n. And my favourite lens was my Elicar 90mm f2.5.
That was some time ago.
