Which brand of film do you use most often? I use Kodak. (primarily) Twenty years ago, I use to snap A LOT more pictures than I do today and was very familiar with how the Kodak films reacted under different lighting conditions. I knew when to ignore the averaging light meter in the camera and could usually get the correct exposure of the subject within one stop without using the meter (regardless of the brightness or darkness around the subject). By bracketing around my eyeball meter, I could always obtain a good picture. Because of this "familiarity" I was always hesitant to experiment. My biggest problem is usually with the lab, not the film. They have a tendency to try to correct exposure "problems" which usually results in over-exposed prints with washed out areas or bright gray sky that should be blue. I shoot much more print film than slide film. If I shot more slide film, I would be more inclined to use Fuji. I do prefer Kodak's Kodachromes over Ektachromes but local labs around my location no longer develop film using the K-14 process needed for the Kodachrome films.
