[QUOTE="Englischdude, post: 566267, member: 16372"] Hi All, as I have gone over to the mirrorless side of the fence I have been selling my NIKON gear. I just sold the aforementioned lens, after which the new owner contacted me to advise me of a problem with the lens which seems to be a production problem and is discussed on many german sites. Setting the camera in M mode, go through the stops from f2.8 to f5.6, compensating the shutter speed accordingly in order to maintain the same exposure. The histograms for the images should all be the same indicating identical exposure, with my copy however the exposures varied, in some cases drastically! As the lens was still under guarantee the new owner sent the lens back to me and I sent it in for service. Just got the lens back, it is better but by no means perfect. I know there are some members here who own this lens so it is probably worth a check. Regards Martin [/QUOTE]
