L.S.,
If anyone owns a Novoflex Xenar with aperture scale (F/4.5-F/32, see attached picture), please contact me! I own the Xenar lens, but it doesn't have an aperture scale for the 12-blade aperture
.
It would really help me if somebody that owns the lens could "round" a piece of paper around the aperture scale, making markings where the different apertures are.
Then it's easy to tell me how the scale is. You could make a list like:
F/4.5 = starting point
F/5.6 = x,x millimeter from 4.5
F/8 = x,x millimeter from 5.6
etc., etc..
I did try making a scale using a flash and my flashmeter... but it does not feel very accurate.
Thanks a million in advance!
