[QUOTE="hrstrat57, post: 339574, member: 27586"] With out a doubt the best pics I have taken to date were back in the day with my 1959 Nikon F with no light meter. Out the door I went with a hand held Gossen Pilot Meter and often with only a Nikkor 50 f1.4 on board, never more than with also a 28 f2.8 and a 135 f2.8. That was the kit of choice. Often I was so dialed in I didn't even use the light meter often shooting with Kodachrome 25 or at most 64 or of course various Kodak B/W films and getting the light bang on in the darkroom = yep I was pretty dialed in. I wish I still had that camera tho a fellow bought it from me on eBay several years ago for over $900....he emailed me 6 months later with a few pics of his work after having the camera completely refurbished.....said it was his most prized possession. Great hobby this picture taking and today's tool are truly astounding..... It was my most prized possession at one time too but time marches on. [/QUOTE]
