This might help: You can take a meter reading with your lens set at a
wider aperture, and the film speed set at a faster speed, than you
intend to use.

If the meter indicates 1 sec at f1.4 for 400 iso film,
you should get a correct exposure at 16 sec at f2.8 with 100 iso film.

If you don't see why, let me know off-list and I'll try to explain.
