Leica prefers to not look like its gone the way of electronic computer circuitry. But still is anchored in reliable clockwork. There is something to be said for using a hand held meter. It slows you down in one sense but in another sense frees you. Using the same meter and technique for your M3 as well as your Rolleiflex or Hasselblad has a nice continuity.
