Me too. I started out with a fully manual camera a couple of years ago and based all of my exposures on the sunny f16 rule. So in an instant I knew what shutter speed I needed with any combination of film speed or aperture; or what aperture I needed with shutter speed etc.

Apart from really low light, even with film's latitude, I did ok. Then I got an auto slr and relied too much on the camera. Now I have a DSLR and although I shoot manual, I have lost all confidence in my own ability to gauge exposure and to learn the cameras (K10D) foibles.

Rather than take a series of shots and look at them later, I keep checking the exposure with every shot.

Yes, for me too, I will use my old manual camera as much as possible. It worked before!
