Quote - No offense, but you have to use a light meter.  If anything a light meter + your own judgement is better. Why limit yourself? 

If you want to eyeball it then FINE, go ahead.  But at the end of your workflow turn on the light meter to see where you stand and do a couple of test renders to make sure what you thought was great is TRULY great.

Why not do both?

 

Don't worry, I'm not offended easily. I hope your not offended if I say I don't agree with that you have to use it. You can use it and if it gives you good results, use it by all means, but you don't have to, you can manage without. That's the cool things about tools, use 'm if you need them or want to do so and or pass them, it's up to the user.
