What I glean from this is that the coupling of the lens to the
camera is mechanical, and the lens tells the camera what its widest
aperture is and at what aperture it will expose the film. But it's
the meter that reads the light, and the meter should respond to the
light, not that the lens is telling the camera it's at some
particular aperture.
