[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 146839, member: 3903"] I'll take a guess. But it's just a guess. Your lens blades might be sticking in the open position. The camera meter thinks the lens will be closed at f8 but when you depress the shutter, the lens stays open at 3.5 or whatever is your max opening. To check for this, take pictures with your lens wide open and follow the meter's setting in manual. Then, right after, take the same picture at f8 and then f11 still following the meter's suggested settings for shutter speed. If your f8 and f11 pictures look more and more overexposed, this is what your problem is. You can try a different lens to see if it's the lens or (heard of it before) the lens-camera connections might be faulty as well. Try different things and let us know what happens. Maybe we can troubleshoot it for you. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
