Sure, these guys carry meters but for 90+% of what they do they don't need it.
Mark, Jonathan and Jose are two of the photographers that I follow, along with Riccis, a member here.
I've been actually studying Jonathan's look as I like it quite a bit for my "type" of shooting. Fuji 400H and 800Z, over exp by a stop or more. JC uses the SP-2500 scanner (frontier) which I'm trying to locate but I think I have the look tweaked with my Epson V500.
