    Actually thats true only for older shutters like the Synchro-Compur that used circular aperture blades. Since this is a Symmar-S, not a Symmar, I assume the shutter is similar to a modern Copal or Compur (or Prontor), where the distance on the scale is evenly spaced between apertures. Its easy to see, if the other markings from f/5.6 on down are evenly spaced then f/64 is the same distance further down (not taking into account any increased tolerances at the end of the aperture lever movement)

    Arne, Thanks for the correction, good that some are awake when they write here.
    I use mostly older shutters and never thought about the evenly spaced f stop distance on Copal shutters.
