    Re: No brand lens question...

    Robbie, are the lens diaphragm markings actually in modern f/stops (16, 22, 32, 45, 64) or say in the Uniform Standard system (16, 32, 64, 128, 256)?

    I believe the British lenses were compatible with common shutters but the US ones were supplied with Kodak ones. Seems like the Brit ones were marked in some way. Anyone know for sure?
