I thought the largest aperture idea would be better for less actual wear on
the aperture, that is it wouldn't be opening and closing all the way each
blank shot. I seriously doubt any light would enter with a lens cap on.
Other than the wear on the aperture, I doubt any difference would matter in
this case. However, setting on manual metering and manual focus is a really
really good idea. If the mirror will lock up (maybe some bodies) that would
be good to avoid wear on it as well.
