Why use something else when what you have works?

I know the 'pro' thing to do would be to get an incident meter and all that 
stuff 
but I would prefer to learn how to get the most out of what I have.   As I see 
it, 
my 4Ti is a $1K light meter which happens to hold film and expose it in its 
spare 
time.

Part of the attraction of 35mm is the convenience factor.  If I am going to 
start 
using  an incident meter I might as well  switch to medium format while I'm at 
it.

Nothing wrong with that mind you, just don't have the money for a Rollei 
6006xyz - 
hey, hasn't that got multi spot metering - oh well, at least I will know how to 
use 
it ;-)
