Yes, I know you can't get 1/3 stop with that scheme, but I still really like the 1/2-stop aperture on those lenses.

Actually, it is better not to have the increments.  If you need 1/3 stop
accuracy (as with slides), you don't want to set it 1/6 stop from the
1/2 stop "click".

Most (if not all) LF lenses have no stops so that the photographer can
set the f-stop anywhere he likes - it's just a function of how accurate
his meter is.
