  * Misses 
  full aperture by ~1/3 stop 
  
**Misses 
    full aperture by a full stop or more.  
    

     (This means the maximum iris diameter 
    of the shutter is not as large as that of the original lens 
    barrel.) 
  

  

     
    Although many of these lenses are routine installations, there 
    are variations and exceptions. Its best to let me see any 
    particular lens to be absolutely certain of the fit.
