I've heard front down, diaphram at minimum F-stop or A setting. The reason
for front down is so goo from the focus ring doesn't get down into aperture
mechanism (or so I have heard), and for closing the aperture the reason is
so there is no or little tension on the spring inside the lens that stops
the aperture from closing all the way down when you select a wider F-stop
than the minimum.
