The above advice is incorrect. Simply meter while pressing the DOF
lever (so that you are metering at the actual taking aperture, which,
BTW, is more accurate than the usual way). I recommend using this method
with all of your lenses (on the FM, FE, F3, and F4) if you are mixing
AI and non-AI lenses, to avoid confusion.
Hope This Helps
