Be careful how you use the word 'always'!
I had a job yesterday shooting clothing - expensive designer jeans -
about 35 pairs ranging from around $300-750 (who would pay THAT for
jeans?)
Switching from black jeans to white (twice) and back an incident
reading would have been a problem as they reflect very different
amounts of light. I had to hold all detail in both. I needed trial and
error in manual, moving up and down the aperture scale with especial
reference to the blown highlight indicator on the display review.
Some days I give thanks for digital, and Lightroom.
