The total magnification results from multiplying the lens magnification with that of the pocket telescope. The modern lenses the mounts of which offer the comforts of the pre-set diaphragm and the automatic diaphragm presetting device and additionally operate as a natural light trap, too, have, however, when used as a magnifier, a distance somewhat too large between front lens... 1, record 1, English, - automatic%20diaphragm%20presetting%20device

Fortunately, you can still meter using the stopped-down metering approach on most cameras. By pressing a depth-of-field button, the camera is placed into stopped-down metering mode too. The lens is stopped down to the taking aperture automatically on some adapters. On T-mount and other purely mechanical mounts, you may have to turn the aperture ring to the desired taking aperture. In either case, the camera is now metering at the actual stopped down aperture. You can set the shutter speed and aperture as desired, based on your meter reading. 2, record 3, English, - stopped%20down%20metering
