The true reality is that with TTL metering, whatever the lens is marked
makes no difference... the metering will correct for inaccuracies ( or lies,
depending on your point of view)
FWIW.... 1/3 stop increments, as commonly used on production cameras....
F1.0
F1.1
F1.2
F1.4
F1.7
F1.8
F2
F2.2
F2.4
F2.8
F4
Or, follow the dots.... between full stop numbers.....
