Hi, gang! It's "Mr. Confused" again! (Grin!)
I also bought a set of no-name manual extension tubes for my Olympus
outfit. The tubes came with a very brief instruction sheet that says I need
to compensate for the aperature when using the tubes. So, for instance,
with the 50mm lens and the 15mm extension tube, the instruction sheet
says I need to multiply the aperature by a factor of 1.65 so that f4
becomes something around f6.6 or so.
Huh?!?!?!?
I thought that the Olympus measures the exposure off the film plane at the
time the shutter triggers??? If so, do I *really* need to worry about all
this exposure compensation stuff, or will my faithful Oly stuff figure it all
out for me???
I hope Oly will do the job for me because my math is really rusty and I
don't wanna have to carry my laptop with me to calculate exposure
settings when I use the tubes! (Grin!)
Again, thanks for any help you can offer!
Regards,
Chris
