Is exposure to the right (ETTR) still the mantra?

Is exposure to the right (ETTR) still the mantra? Have seen the mantra many times that photogs should “expose to the right” or ETTR. But I think this might be wrong. I always end up with better edits when I am exposed middle or even slightly left. I can lift shadows but cannot pull back blown highlights. Anyone else with a view on this? submitted by /u/Greedy_Reading9106

Am I overreacting or is this over priced? I know that the Canon AE-1 is specifically a “hot commodity” in recent times because it’s a very well known beginner film camera. Im looking for a new film camera after the shutter on mine was damaged but I am very cautious buying on eBay, and the closest camera store to me is an hour away, that has almost always junk. And if it’s not junk, it’…

Using a larger filter size vnd to avoid X patterns, how big to go?
