The Zone VI Workshop used to sell a little label that you stuck on your spot
meter.  You dial in the reading you want to show up as middle gray next to
the V on the lable, and then you could see at a glance how other values you
metered would come out on a gray scale.  I've relied on mine for years.
Maybe something like that could be worked out to do what you're talking
about, Gary.  If there's a convenient surface next to the f-stop ring, you
could make a little label with A next f-8, A- next to f-5.6, etc.  I don't
know all the Zuiko lenses, but I'm looking at a 135/3.5, and it's tailor
made for the idea.
