VARIABLE APERTURE
As the lens is zoomed out from 35mm to 70mm, the maximum aperture de-
creases approx. 5/6 of an f/stop. The two aperture indexes engraved on the
chrome mounting ring indicate the difference: the green index is for use at the
35mm setting, while the brown one is for the 70mm setting. For intermediate
focal length settings, align the aperture ring between the two indexes. The
relationship between the focal length and the maximum aperture is shown in
