I think you're right, especially since I'm at this moment looking
at my 50/3.5 macro, and it has only six marked f/stops. The lens
in the picture has seven! Moose says it's maybe a "Made in Japan"
50/1.8, and I'm looking at that one, too, and it has seven marked
stops. I think he's right. But how could anybody mistake it for
a 35-50mm zoom lens?
