Re: K10d FA*80-200 f/2.8 consistent overexposure unless fully open?

Alex, You have the right forum to ask these questions. I have no problems with the FA*80-200/2.8 on the K10D. Apertures set just fine, exposures are OK. Your aperture blades are slow. They always start fully open so you can have bright focusing (and you meter at open aperture). When you take a

Re: K10d FA*80-200 f/2.8 consistent overexposure unless fully open?

sorry, couldn't do that. :-) even if forever stuck at 2.8 it would still be a nice lens (well, apart from minor details like weight, size) originally I bought it for low light conditions anyway (and because I needed a replacement after some uninvited visitor(s) abused my absence to releive me
