I dug my analogue meter out the other day and took some incident light shots with it and then the same shots with camera metering. There wasn't a great deal of difference except the light meter tended to be slightly under- exposing and the shots were marginally better for it. I couldn't honestly say that the same thing couldn't have been achieved by simple levels adjustment in post processing though.

The problem with camera meters is they take reflective readings and can be fooled by snow and beach scenes etc. No big deal I suppose as long as you know to bracket or compensate. I still look at meters but I'm tending to think I could get something else for the money I'd be more likely to use.
