I was looking at this lens and noticed something is missing.
Perhaps the problem is there because this is a pre-production lens.

Can you see what's missing?

Well, more than missing, I would say that there is something unnecessary, superfluous or left over from another body that are the DOF marks, with obviously no sense in a fly by wire focusing lens.
 
There's no mark for the aperture to go to :shock: , What the!!......
 
Two rings - focus and aperture? One having a red dot mark - to what scale? Other having no mark to be related to the DOF scale? Are the rings swapped?

Yes, essentially this is what I was looking for. In my OM days I often used to set hyperfocal distance and then not worry about accurate focus. Particularly with wide angles.
But what is the point of aperture marks with no distance marks? Am I missing something? Maybe the marks for distance will appear on the finished product.
