[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 78903, member: 9237"] Like I said, this is pretty consistant. It's has been happening the whole time with this lens for whatever reason. If the camera says, "hey, just so you know, this shot is going to be properly exposed with the settings you've chosen", and then produces an extremely overexposed shot, that tells me something has to be funky, right? I'm not using it any differently than any of my other glass, so I'm not sure what it would be other than a really strange phenomenon or a bad copy. The 40 has way less distortion, better contrast, no CA's and it can do close macro. (my 35 copy has extraordinary CA problems..) True, that 5mm isn't that much of a huge difference. In fact, it's barely noticeable as far as my hands-on tests are concerned, and that is kind of why I like it. But it can get f'ing close. Some things like hornets, I wouldn't want to get f'ing close to. But little Lego men, cupcakes, and rice pudding don't tend to hurt me as much. Back to the original issue however, if this is happening all the time in various doses, what do you suppose the issue is? And I swear, I'm not the one at fault here. I can put it on no-flash Auto and get similar results to that blown out mess up there, too! [/QUOTE]
