I have to do that lots of times as plenty of my glass is from the pre CPU era. And they each get number to make it a bit easier to key in. My 300 f45 is lens #5. My 35 2.8 is #2. Then I get to grab the f stop ring on my camera and set it to anything I want. Great fun. And my camera knows it. I see it later in my metadata. And love that. Nothing gets between me and my metadata.
