Unlike SLR's, Leica RF's don't have to close down their lenses just before they make their exposures, because, since we don't look through the lens with a RF, they are always at working aperture. So, wherever you set it, metering should be OK (since it meters with the actual diaphram setting, rather than a simulated one), and so should exposure (if the meter says so, you know what you're doing, etc. :-)) Charlie Charles E.
