I'm not sure I want to know, but how do you know it's 9.5, and what sort of setting is that? Is that lens aperture ring detented there ~ halfway between 8.0 and 11.0? Must be, or you wouldn't have said it! On a whim, I checked out my legendary Vivitar 85-205, and sure enough, it too has a detent at f/9.5... <g> I should put brain in gear before I display my ignorance. keith whaley > I can say one thing, this lens is awesome > quality.
