Hi,

Here's a 2 questions about our favourite brand's shift lenses:

1) On the Unofficial Olympus OM Zuiko Lens Page, it's stated that the 35mm 
shift has "manual diaphragm".  I understand this to be that one needs to select 
the diaphragm, then stop down using the on/off-click DOF button.  Is this 
correct ?  If you don't click the DOF yet, does the meter react correctly 
already, or does it only meter correctly after clicking in the DOF ?
2) For the 24mm shift, it says "preset diaphragm".  Does this mean that there 
is no click-DOF, and metering needs to be done with the diaphragm set to the 
value needed ?


Peter.
