Indicated exposure was 1/500 at f2.8. As I closed down the lens to f4, f5.6, ... , f22, the indicated shutter speed doubled with each f-stop, as expected, ending at 1/6 at f22. Is this what you wanted to know? Cheers, Nathan On 31-jul-2007, at 18:26, Aram Langhans#2 wrote: > I guess the subject says it all.
