[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 73774, member: 9521"] Okay, the reason the camera will only allow you to take photos in "Manual" or "M" is because you have the auto ISO function set at a level the camera cannot obtain thus it will not allow the shutter to be released. However, in Manual the auto ISO is disabled. And yes, A/M is a bit misleading. Not sure why they do it this way. As for the "tightness" of fit, it seems to be a common thing for these prime lenses. The 35mm and the 50mm are particularly tight. In my case the 50mm f/1.8G is extremely tight and much has been written about this on the internet. From what I can tell this is all normal for these lenses. As for the noise it makes, not really sure about that one.
