Thanks, Mark. Both Mark Cassino and Ken Waller have this lens and use it with their MZ-S's and ist D's, which was why I conferred with them first. Still, this is interesting. Gremlins??

(was RE: The Decline of KEH? Long...) Bill, Interesting. I purchased an A* 200 F4 macro lens new from B&H way back in the late 1990's. I used it in aperture priority or manual mode on my LX until I got an MZ-S, when I discovered that it had the same problem that you describe. Maybe it has an intrinsic design flaw or came from the factory that way? Hmmmm. Repair cost me about $100 at a local shop (California Precision Service in Sacramento). Anyway, good luck clearing things up with KEH.... --Mark
