The diaphragm

Sometimes you will want to stop down the lens for various resaons, and then a diaphragm will be useful. An iris diaphragm would be excellent of course, but hard to find - or make - in the sizes required. The old kind of push-in diaphragm will also work, one set for each lens. The diaphragm slides in its own track between the lens and the shutter.
