Yes, inded -- until you refocus. Then you should use an enlarging meter like the Ilford EM-10, calculate the exposure using a formula that includes the change in effective f/number due to focus change, or calculate a chart that instantly tells you the proper exposure compensation. Math is one of our allies, not our nemesis.
