I am right & wrong:
. There is a difference in the shutter progression between IIIf BD & RD, ie:
BD "old style" - 1/30, 1/40, 1/60
RD "new style" - 1/25, 1/50, 1/75
I incorrectly referred to Euro & international nomenclature - this of course
only applies to the switch in f. stop settings ie: pre-war & post-war lenses.
