Very motivating.
I've already fired off 4 shots. (That's 284 in digital.)

I'm using my 5D and 85 1.8. I joined them at the bayonet this morning. I've not actually taken any pictures yet, but my capture count has gone up by 437 and I'm nearly ready to empty the card. OK the last part isn't true, but I've not taken any pictures yet.

Actually I believe most DSLR's have built in meters that work even in manual. For what your proposing you would have to exclude any camera with a built in meter unless it can be rendered useless by removing the battery. So older film slrs could possibly be used but aperture priority cameras would be out as would most of the fixed lens cameras.

But not using a meter is about setting the exposure beofre looking at the meter, not setting and changing your mind. OTOH, the best exposure meter on a dslr is the histogram after you shoot, and that gets kind of hard to ignore unless you turn the lcd off.

But how would you know that it wasn't used? If your accustomed to using the meter all of the time sometimes it just becomes second nature.

Thinking of which camera I could use to take part, I came to some thoughts:
the more photos I take (depending on possibilities, weather, time etc.), the better my chances to get 3 good shots.
This means by comparison: Olympus RC, 20 rolls of Tri-X (Euro 70+), or shooting 720 shots on one CF card, Pentax K100, 28mm (which makes it the same focal length as the RC).
Conclusion:
Disadvantage for those who only own film camera(s).

I'll be shooting 120 roll film, 6x7. During the fourteen days I might get through two, even three rolls.

If I don't get three keepers, worthy of this project, I'll take up golf.

Shooting 6x6 for this. Three rolls in 14 days sounds like a goal I should set.
Ive been so tight with film lately... i need to loosen up.
 
I'm shooting 6x7 and I'm hoping to shot 2 rolls of 120, and I'm going to try to finish a roll of 220 that I'm on the eighth frame. I'm worried I might have to process it without finishing the roll. I can tell you that for me, because I am more deliberate with medium format I get many more keepers than with digital. I can think of two shots I have taken already that I think are keepers out of the 7 I've taken on that roll of 220.
 
Going out on a weak limb

Going out on a weak limb

I found I actually own a fixed lens digital camera. It is a Polaroid A550 6.5MM FIXED LENS. I rather be adventurous with this challenge and there is no question of my being the underdog. A truly point and shoot fixed focus and it will be raining here for the next week.
