<Light
Reading Range)
The table
gives
the EV Light
reading range
for various
lenses,
showing
the inter-relationship
between aperture,
shutter speed
and
EV
(exposure
values). For instance,
when an t11.4
lens
at
ISO 100 is
used,
the reading range
spanning
the
points
that the vertical
lines
(EV)
and
the
horizontal lines
(shutter
speed)
intersect
with
the
diagonal
lines
extending
from
the f values of
"1.4"
to
"16"
(representing
the minimum
aperture of
the
Zeiss Planar T*
t|1.4
50
mm),
denotes
the reading range from
EV
0
to 20.
o
EV
numbers,
which are
used
to
indicate
the
coupling
range
of the light meter,
denote the aperture
and shutter
speed combinations that
yield
the
same exposure effect
on
the film for
a
given
lighting
condition
For example, when
using EV 13
f rom
the
scale
as a
guide,
it
can
be seen
that the
same
exposure
effect
is
attained using
the
combinations of f/16
at
1/30
sec and
f/8
at 11125
sec.
