Okay, but there are no threads there.

Yes I saw it, it seems there are two pages for each shutter, one is
text and the other shows the workings with the cover removed.
Doesn't make sense.

Actually I havn't received the lens yet, it is in trans****t via UPS
and will be here tomorrow on the 18th. I have seen other images
of GTRs showing letter engravings on the outer side of the rims
which are not showing in pics I did see, which I saved to my hard
drive. I must have a pretty early one. But they they made them
for a long enough time and must have been kept as standards for
model numbers, I suspect it must be the same as your '26 catalogue.
Which is fine with me, I have "something" of a 4x5... lol.
