You can equally well say that the A is lying in the middle of f4 and f5.6.
I have measured the cirlces and the DA follows the square root law.
I will look further into this with some tests if I find time (and Bokeh).
i'm sorry you take offence that decided to denote the DA as the bad one... yes, you can equaly say that the A is not calibrated
but a lens with an aperture ring that clicks into pre-defined (and extensively tested) aperture positions would have much more credibility than a fully electronically controlled lens.
or, the electronic aperture control is poorly interacting with the FA lens.
i would re-do the tests while using the aperture ring first to get a rock solid base.
