Gossen Luna Pro Scale vs Lense Scale


Couple days ago I asked a question about scale of intermediate values on Gossen Luna Pro.... What if lense on my camera dont have such number.. like 6.3 or 13...
What I have to do if I have a reading from light meter that I can't use on my camera?
Is there any calculation...
Or if lense have just one dot
2-2.8.4.5.6.8.11-16-22????
Thank you.

  Hi Dmitriy,

I would use the setting closest to that give by the meter. However, most camera lenses can set intermediate aperture values, even if only the full stops are marked. With most manual lenses there are one (half-stop) or two (1/3 stop) clicks between each marked setting.
