I think what it boils down to is whether you have a light meter in your head or not. I don't. I suspect most amateurs don't either.

Yes, once upon a time everybody had a light-meter in their head ...

... or bought one of these:

An amazing contraption! Early analog computer with cams, levers and springs in the back!!

I'm not sure what they mean by "analog cameras" these days. Do you think they mean "film cameras" . . . but they don't actually know what they're called, so they call them "analog" instead?

analog is supposedly the opposite of digital. new cameras are digital, so old cameras, i.e. film, must be analog.

this makes more sense with other tech. records are certainly analog, while CDs and now streaming music is digital.

I used to have the settings from the end flap of a box of Kodak memorized. It generally was very close.
