I do one of three things, dependent on circumstances.

1. Use a small digicam (FX01) as a meter
2. Use a Digisix
3. Use Sunny-16

I tend to the latter most of the time, using 1. or 2. to "calibrate" my judgement when I start shooting, or when conditions change markedly.

I would also advocate a handheld meter like the Digisix for the ability to take incident and ambient readings - once you are used to it, it is the way to go.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Bill
