    When using Hexanon reflex mirror optics lenses, the Meter

    When stopping a lens down for closeups, keep your eye
       against the Viewfinder eyepiece to protect the latter from the
      entry of strong light.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DEPTH-OF.FIELD

      Depth-of-Field is the distance between the nearest and                         Depth-of-Field for f/ 16
      farthest objects in the scene that will be sharp in the finished                                                                                                                   for f 14       picture. In practical terms this means that when you bring an
      object into sharp focus, objects behind and in front of this
       will be rendered more or less sharp too, depending on a series
      of factors. For more Depth-of-Field, use a small f/stop (larger
      f/number) and make the irna$e of the nain object snuller by:
      .(a) moving the camera further away or (b) switching to a
      shorter focal length lens without changing camera distance.
