[QUOTE="hark, post: 672423, member: 13196"] I don't think it's coming from the body--pretty sure it's from the lens. If you remove the lens from your body and look through the rear element, press the lever to make the blades stop down (if you can do that). What you should be able to see is the shape the aperture blades make when the lens is stopped down. Here is an online photo showing the aperture of a lens.
