I never have understood where all this anit-meter stuff comes from. People think that because they don't rely on and on-board meter it makes them a better photographer. Bottom line: an on board meter is simply another tool at your disposal. And Vuk just because someone uses an TTL meter it does not mean that they have no understanding of exposure. Take Vuk's photo for instance. I would have metered off the palm of my hand and opened up one stop, or stepped in closer and meter the models face and open one stop. Incident meters are nice to have but not always practical. Try using an incident meter in mixed lighting with children. Damn near impossible.

I disagree. Your 645 will win hands down. Todays 400 speed films are not what they use to be. Infact I know of many wedding photographers that use 400 speed film! Of course that is to say that your Nikon has its uses also. I too have a Mf and 35mm Nikon system. I generally use MF only for formal portraits and formal engagements. I use my Nikon for everything else especially now that I have expeirenced Fuji velvia.

Ron have did you make your own omni bounce? If so Id like to see what you came up with.
