Fujinon EP 50mm - question

Hello All,

I bought a cople of these lenses on Ebay, and it the image on the
easel seems quite sharp. However, one problem is that none of these
have have Click Stops.

Is this a feature of this lens? Are there other enlarger lenses also
(modern ones) that do not have click stops?

Can anyone provide some information on how one uses a lens without
click stops?

I am finding it very inconvinient to use this.

Finally, if this lens is supposed to have click stops, How can add one
(a small metal ball should fo the trick). How do I open the lens to
insert a metal ball?

Thanks for any help,
Sreenath

Yes, these lenses are probaly from a photo printer that has som kind of
motor gear for seting the aperture.

I have a special lens holder that I use for some lenses that I use the
holder has an opening that illuminates the scale on the lens
I am finding it very inconvinient to use this.

You don't, unless you know what you are doing. If they can be fitted
with a click stop is should be done by a camera repair techician.
