Many years ago Canon made a camera called the Pellix which was a SLR with an immovable mirror. Since the mirror took up 30% of the light entering the lense the aperture sizes were larger to compensate. I don't know if they refered to
these augmented stops as T stops or not. JerryThere were motion picture cameras with the same arrangement, i.e., a pellicle mirror. I don't know how those were arranged for exposure either. Presumably the loss through the mirror would be constant so that a single correction factor would do for all lenses.
