it may be a bit limiting but the 'sunny 16' rule is so simple its fun.

I've recently started using the Sunny 16 rule when using my ME-Super. I'm finding it to be more reliable then the cameras light meter. Especially in bright outdoor lighting. But I still need batteries for any shutter speed other then 125.

Maybe I should pick up a camera like yours that doesn't need batteries!
