For stop down metering to be correct, you would need some sort of mechanical
tab to permanently hold the camera body coupling ring in the f position that
matches the maximum f stop of your lens. Then turning the aperture on the
lens would have no effect on the meter position. Only pressing the depth of
field would show you a meter change.

Subject: [OM] Stop Down Metering
> Hi there All,
>
> I have been trying to figure out the correct methods for taking a stopped
down reading with either my OM-1 or 2n.
>
> I have a manual diaphragm lens that I want to use but would prefer to not
have to use an external light meter.
>
> With the 2n I have discovered that in Auto mode it is going to make the
right exposure regardless of meter reading since it is reading off the film.
>
> So my question(s) are what is the correct method for manual mode with a 2n
and does it change with the OM-1?

> Thanks, Dan.
