Yes... moves the ring from "sharp" setting to "soft" 1, 2 or 3.
It is smooth and easy.

Hey guys and gals... I tightened the "knuckles" The lens was pretty darn easy to disassemble..... except for getting the aperture index screw out... it's a tiny bugger. Anyway all back together and cleaned!! I am going to photograph with it for a couple weeks or months now. Hope to have time to post a few images sometime.

I also build sailboats, and rebuild Mazda Rotary engines... I'm pretty handy..
