Depends somewhat on what body you were using, and what mode. When shooting in
Auto mode, the OTF function will attempt to operate the shutter to provide a
"proper" exposure no matter _what_ aperture the lens delivers. Unless you
exceed the limits of the camera's shutter (as in, requiring a speed above 1/1000
for the OM-2, for example), the camera will provide a good exposure. Even in
Program mode, the OTF will take over in the same manner.
