Oh, okay, half stops. I should have guessed that. That's not important to me. I never change the stop once I'm trying to dial in a print, only the exposure time. I generally print at f11 with the 50/2.8 El Nikkor. For most of my negatives, that yields an exposure time of around 30 seconds at 11 x14. Paul
