How to determince exposure setting for TLR ?

[LCT]

How do most of TLR user determine exposure setting for a TLR without built-in metering device

Apart from guessing or using formula, is there any other way apart from using another SLR or separate metering gadget.

I am learning how else to better determine correct exposure apart from lugging my SLR along with my TLR.

Any positive suggestions from fellow user?

Use a light meter

how about the "sunny f16" rule? works for me all the time. anyways, if you're shooting film, should over expose slightly then let the lab guys colour correct for you. if its under exposed, quite hard to save your film.

for more on that rule of thumb:

There is no other way apart from using another camera or a light meter if you want the metering to be accurate and pin-point.

If occasional over or under exposed shots are fine with you, you can try the sunny f16 rule.
