That's a good reason :-)

I concur.
However, this place I refer too as the "Dream Factories", where I call a career and sinfully wish that I had gone a differant direction,the old time DP's, 20, 30 year veterans don't even pull out a meter. The actually do just eyeball the light, the image through the lens.
Amazingly, the images are pretty darn good.
If you are not using a meter I don't think you need too. Your imagery on your web site is pretty darn good.
However, if you want more accuracy, especially when you have a crew and a lot of toys to play with...
