but the f-stop tab, on any other Zuiko auto lens, moves when that large thing I
call my hand moves the aperture ring - then doesn't move again when I hit the
shutter (I suspect you were thinking of the auto-diaphragm tab - and if you
weren't well comparing the 16/3.5 to the 8/2.8 the 8/2.8 seems to have a larger
set of blades etc, though since I'm looking through lenses to see, I'm not that
sure one's not being magnified)
