do you really believe that your lenses are all accurate to within 1/3 stop at all aperture settings? THEY ARE NOT.
Do you really believe that all your shutter speeds are %100 "perfect" THEY ARE NOT. Do you really believe that films from various batches and stored different amounts of time and at different tempertures are all EXACTLY the same speed? THEY ARE NOT Do you really believe that you can accurately compensate the errors a TTL meter creates based on reflectance variations 100% perfectly? YOU CAN NOT.
