But why only between f/2.8 and f/4? It must be an error. I'd exchange the lens for a new one. Apparently you've been "Snook"-ered. :) With apologies, Art Peterson - ----Original Message Follows---- From: Patrick Snook <patrick.snook@yale.edu> Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Help with 50mm f/2 M Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1999 10:57:10 -0400 (EDT) LUGgers, I would be most grateful for help with this: I have a new Summicron 50mm/M. My question concerns the aperture ring. Between each f-stop there is one other click-stop, representing a half stop--except for between f/2.8 and f/4, which has *two* clicks. Is this a mechanical error? (If not, do these two clicks represent 1/3 stop increments?) Thank you, in advance.
