I should note that I usually use the P mode. And the P mode of the Ricoh GR likes f/5.6 very much when there is enough light. Otherwise, it prefers f/2.8. Other f-numbers are not very popular, or I select them manually.

This makes me think that the Viltrox AF 28/4.5 (FE) lens only needs two aperture settings: fully open at f/4.5 and fully closed at f/8. Therefore, its aperture mechanism could be very simple.
