Very good point. Value on digital is determined by a hexadexinal value of 0-255. Anything below zero will be clipped to black and above 255 will clip to white. Film has a much more gradual (analog) transition before it will "clip" anday not line up with what a digital sensor will do. This is even more phased by the ability to process your film so as to comtrol you contrast.
I think this is heavily dependent on your style, but when I shoot lf, I like to be very specific and deliberate about everything, so guessing makes me very uneasy. I will often guess or take a single light reading for the day when shooting 35, but with lf, I feel a need to be in control of eveuthing.
