Uh, there's a stop down button on the lens? >How that works to take a meter reading is: 1. You point the camera at the subject. 2. You push the stop down button on the lens to the stopped down position. 3. You adjust the f-stop and/or shutter speed until the meter indicates the correct exposure. 4. You take the photo. I was figuring: 1. set camera to aperture priority (Elan) 2. point camera 3. push button 1/2 way for metering -- to get what shutter speed it says 4. adjust shutter speed accordingly, since it will be basing the meter reading on the lens wide open 5. ergo, if I set aperture at f8 and the lens wide open is f3.5, then drop down the shutter speed by two stops I mean, if there is an easier way I am all for it.
