SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 1:38 pm There's a guy on ebay offering examples which do not appear to have an aperture adjustment, at a very reasonable price. Was this version designed to work with an external aperture adjustment? Report this Post to the Staff

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 12:03 am No, it is a fixed-aperture version of the lens designed for scanners. The aperture is fixed wide-open at f4. Sort of like the Rodenstock Scitex S3 or the Kyocera E36C series.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 01/16/2013 3:04 pm Elements are the same as the standard lens, just with solid machined housing similar to my Rodenstock Scitex lenses. There is a small aperture stop machined into the housing but I am not sure it's any smaller than the standard lens wide open. It might be, say f4.5 instead of f4 but I'd have to measure it. I think it's a good alternative lens if folks don't take a lot of pics and are able to stack, as it will definitely require stacking on Cents. Dollars look OK without stacking.
