In reply to my query about the variable aperture on the 35~105, Piers replied:

Max aperture is f/3.5 at 35mm and f/4.5 at 105mm. The little brown dot
beside the white dash is the aperture index at 105mm (and the dash is the
index at 35mm)Piers

I cannot find said little brown dot on my 35~105 (S/N 504xxx)... which is
why I thought perhaps the 35~105 worked the same as the 35~70/3.5~4.5, i.e.
the variable aperture with focal length only applied when the aperture was
wide open, and it became a fixed aperture from f/5.6 to f/22.
So I'm still a little confused - are there multiple versions of the 35~105?
Dotted and dot-less??? Hummmmmm...
