My fault for the original unclarity - I meant to say that turning the
aperture ring produces a nice "click"

for each stop as you close down from f4.5, but - nothing changes in the
diaphragm - it doesn't stop down.

May not have noticed it on the OMs, but it was pretty obvious looking
through the E-1.

As for Big John... I'd love to, but can't swing that right now.

Thanks all.

Rick
