I use my Sekonic L-308 incident meter when I'm shooting large format and for metering studio flash.
When I'm working with a 35mm or medium format camera that has a functioning meter I'll use that.
When I'm using a 35mm or medium format camera that's meterless or has a non-functioning meter (for example, I've been doing a lot of snapshooting recently with old 35mm compact rangefinder cameras that want mercury batteries for the meter), I'll just wing it - guess the exposures from experience. But that's for negative film, mostly color neg at the moment. If I were shooting slides I'd probably dust off my Pentax Digital Spotmeter and use that.
