I can assure you people can't meter but again, people simply want to argue with no basis behind their argument.
You people can't meter? In what way?
Ok, back in the early 90's I printed amateur and professional films. Consumer stuff downstairs, professional stuff upstairs. I was a qualified A Grade printer back then.
Now, be it average every day Joe/Jane that walks in with his/her compact or the serious amateur photographer, easily 80-90% of these negs were underexposed. There were a few regulars that came in that created beautifully exposed film. I learned their names fast and it was always a pleasure to see them come in through the door. This was back in the day when multi segment metering was not really around, most people were using center weighted cameras if they were serious amateurs. Pros of course were a completely different story regarding exposure.
The other thing of interest that surprised me back then, around the same percentage were photos of naked males v naked females. Maybe 10-15% were naked females. I've seen every size and shape of the male anatomy on planet Earth! Women aren't as innocent as people think! lol
