I have been going on the assumption that if I use the same meter all the time, all my film will be exposed in a similar fashion. That way if I do find major differences then there is a good chance that something with the camera (shutter), or lens (aperture) is working differently than I assume it would. That is if I am using the same film.

There are occasionally small differences between cameras using the same film but it is usually the differences between medium format (Rolleiflex) and 35mm (Pentax.)

I suspect that my assumptions are probably off but it has worked relatively well. I suppose it should be mentioned that there is always an exception to any rule of thumb.
I think you are very wise Pioneer, " a man with one clock knows what time it is, one with many is never sure".
 
That is where the impression clock-wise comes from...
