>>241044 D'oh, I was about to start a lecture on how much camera meters suck, and how a meter's almost always better, and then I realized you were talking about the old-style ones from OP's pic.
But, yeah, meters are a godsend at night or in a dark place. I did a shoot of a big gilded altar inside a Mission chapel, using a completely manual 4x5 camera, and got some amazing stuff with very little lighting of my own. (I tossed out some radio remote strobes to provide foreground fill and manually fired them at low-power.) Never could've done that with in-camera metering, even on a top-of-the-line DSLR.
