Regardless of format, I wear contact lenses when I take photographs. For 35mm I can use my glasses with my Nikon N75 and F100 which are AF and have rubber eye cups available.
Since I could not find the Red 23, Red 29, and 720 filters in B60 made by Hasselblad, Heliopan, or B+W or even Tiffen, I bought a B60 to 67mm filter adapter and the Red 23, Red 29, and 720 filters in 67mm for shooting IR film.
It may be an older tool but the photons have managed to figured out how to do their even with digital cameras and iPhones and the Jiffy Night Calculator still works and I still use it.
The TTL measures the received light and calculates when to cut off the illumination. The photographer does not need to estimate the distance the light travels and calculate the f/stop.
The only time I used a tripod while traveling in Europe and shooting MF was taking night photographs of the Eiffel Tower. And that is the only time I took a tripod to Europe in over twenty trips. And I took the tripod that time because I planned to take the Eiffel Tower photographs at night...
If you really want to "gun and run" then you need to use TTL and let the flash electronics do all the calculating for you. Why are you making it hard on yourself?
Use scene 8 on the Jiffy Night Calculator. It is spot on for slides and that should nail it for you.

They probably were afraid that you worked for a highway contractor and your were photographing so your company could build a toll road through their homes.
All of the above about the more you do it the easier it will become.
Plus if you are on a public road or sidewalk, there are no privacy expectations of others.
Start in very public places like parks, monuments and public events. Soon this will not be a problem.
I was not going to. I was making a point that as in the past the same ones who bad mouthed analog are doing it again. They cannot stand it when the same is done to them.
So I am not the only one noticing that. Does that mean that I should make derisive comments about them? After all I was not the one who went into their living rooms and crapped on their sofas.
