| F1.9 | F2.8 | F4.0 | F5.6 | F8.0 | F11 | F16 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6m-inf | 1.2m-inf | 0.9m-inf | 0.7m-inf | 0.5m-inf | 0.4m-inf | 0.3m-inf |
Unfortunately the selenium photometer is known to go blind over the decades. However that doesn't matter as the exposure-meter only works for 18fps. So an external photometer (or a printed exposure-table for your film and shutter-speed) is a must even if the selenium photometer still works properly.
