The old DA* has let me down now and then because of lack of sharpness.
Maybe my copy was a bad one, or maybe I expect to much.
I've never had actual problems with the size and bulk of the DA*. But
I feel more free and playful with the FA 20-35. Kind of hard to

Doesn't the aperture lever toggle the aperture on the 16-50 like all
pentax lenses? Does it feel stiff? Is it bent at all?

It sounds like you are getting bad contacts or that the EEPROM on the
lens might be not registering correctly if its only happening at wide
focal lengths.

A clue! Thanks. Aperture lever itself seems fine, but it only works
more or less normally from 50 down to somewhere between 35mm and 28mm.
Then as I zoom it wider I hear a metallic springy noise from inside
and the aperture goes wide and stays stuck open. Ie the return spring
doesn't close it
No and no. The EXIF records what should have happened, not what I get.
Zooming apparently mechanically sticks the aperture wide open.

Yeah, sorry about your troubles Bruce. I don't really understand how
the camera electrically controls aperture with A lenses onwards, but
triggering the aperture itself is still all mechanical. I had a
feeling that it might be something bad in the movement of the lever.
If you are getting correct
Just shoot everything wide open. Embrace the softness. ;)
