It marks the f5.6 setting. There isn't enough room next to 4.5 to fit all the numbers in. You find a similar thing on the SMC-A 28mm f2.8 (which I'll be putting in the "for sale" section as soon as I can be bothered taking a pic of it and working out a reasonable price). This has a white dot to represent the f4 setting.

Thanks Aero, was wondering if that was it. 5.6 seems to be where it cracks in sharpness wise occording to various reviews.

I'm stunned by it Mate. Took it to the farmers market and almost all shots sharp and colourful. Nice that is constant aperture. Picked it up in a lot that had a K24/2.8 that I was after. The zoom is a big bonus !

The bokeh is really nice on the shot of the doll.
I sold a M 200mm f/4 because the zoom was better than it at 200mm
Never really found anything to beat it even the A 70-210mm

I have the M 200/4 and reckon it's pretty good.
I'm planning on comparing the K24/2.8 and the Takumar24/3.5
Might have to put the 200 up against the zoom too.
Really is time to sell some lenses
