I believe the O ring was a serious and doable solution. You may want to rethink it.

We don’t hafta always get along for me to acknowledge when you exhibit a moment of brilliance.
As to the practical matter re your lens, and various other lenses, the O-ring adds some friction (stop snickering!). If it’s too “fat” it will just roll away from where you want it. If it’s too narrow ... we already disgust that. Obviously this method requires that there be a non rotating section of the barrel adjacent to the control ring.
Try it. You don’t want the f-stop ring accidentally moving during your niece’s wedding ;-)
