[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 78897, member: 9237"] I picked up one of these the other night. I've been shooting with it with the same, consistant results. Here's my 35 1.8. Settings were f/7.1, ISO 400, 1/200th shot in manual.

Same exact settings. Here's what I got: [IMG]http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr172/playsguitars/Photography/Sub%20Album%20-%20Lens%20testing/18dwtf_zps18d5f3f2.jpg[/IMG] The camera said that it was going to expose correctly when I metered.. I've shot this lens before and not had this problem, although that was manually focusing on a D5100 at the time I'm referring to. I've been debating between keeping the 35mm 1.8 or selling. If I sold, I'd get either the 50mm 1.8D or G, or get the 40 2.8G. So, at this point, I'm not really sure WTF to do.

Anyways, rant over. What do you guys think? Is this a bad copy of this lens? Does this sort of thing happen? I've never experienced it before if it does. [/QUOTE]
