Well Vlad, here's how it went down. The lens is marked f3.5 - f16 and indeed the standard apertures are marked on the dial. However, the indicator mark when the lens is wide open reads f4 and when the lens is stopped down the indicator mark travels past f16 to a location that would be approximately f22. Greg Ah The simple answer is then save evething as raw which has 500 times the dynamic range of film anyway (* note 1) Alternatively, if you get som black electrician's take and a "white" pen from a garden center you can stick it over the existing ring. While you are at it you could write F1.0 as the max, to reflect the improved "effective" aperture of the lens you get simply by using raw files :o) Vlad (to be of service) Note 1: Specifically, lithographic film
