If the lens is disassembled it is possible to replace the parts so the little
*finger* which contacts the diaphram blade actuating lever is installed in
front rather than in back of the blade actuating lever. In such a case the
stop down lever will move freely, but not actuate the diaphram movement
lever. Therefore the diaphram blades will not move.
