All the Pentax lenses I own have no click stop 1/2 stop down from wide open. I'm not sure why this is, but I find it annoying with my MZ-5n in full manual mode because the shutter speed also can only be adjusted in full stop increments. I have to switch to Av or Tv mode to get the right exposure. -Scott
