Thanks for the post cyan.
I had no idea about the double starburst.
If you would have looked it up yourself, i may never had learned this.
I don't ask a lot of questions here, due the unwanted attacks that alway seem to come up.

Right....but most of the people are very willing to help.

Partially stop down the lens and count them.

How would I find out the number of aperture blades my lens has? Canon 18-270mm is what I have.

It has to be another Lens Mfg. Canon 18-270mm does not exist.
The Tamron Lens 18-270mm for Canon has 7 blades.

Just rack it all the way to closeup focus, manually, then aim at a faraway light source and set for maximum zoom at three stops down from wide open. Count the sides of the polygon. That's the number of blades...
