[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 543267, member: 3903"] One thing that came to mind after seeing your pics on Flickr is the fact that the pictures with max aperture (5.6) are OK while the more you close the more overexposed they become. I've seen this situation when the aperture blades become a bit sticky and slow. The meter expects the blades to be completely closed to the selected aperture but when you press the shutter they never get that far. To check for this problem, put the camera on a tripod, take a few shots with different apertures with auto iso OFF, start with the larger diaphragm going to the smaller and then compare your shots' exposure. If you see the histogram going more and more to the right, it means that your blades are getting sluggish and it's the problem you have to face. Keep us informed and good luck. [/QUOTE]
