Considering going all-manual on a trip; which meterless film body & lenses to take?

I will add that one to my reading list.

My wife and I once took an ACE photography course taught by a sculptor.
He urged us to ignore the exposure meter etc. and just "spin the dials".
His photos were pretty bad, often well beyond the film's exposure latitude.

With experience all those analytics eventually do become intuitive "gut feelings"...

If simplicity is the imperative why not bring just the S1a with ST 35/3.5 lens?
I might bring a small meter, to check my judgement in case of tricky lighting.

If you don't mind a bigger kit add the ST 55/2 and/or SMCT 135/3.5 lenses.

Enjoy your trip!
