My Tokina 400mm did the same thing to me a few years ago when we were in Kodachrome Basin. I pulled the lens mount off and the aperture worked fine, so I put the mount back on, and it has continued to work fine. I don't know why. I do know that if the lens has an A setting, I wouldn't be pulling the mount off. A series lenses have small explosive charges in them that detonate when the mount is removed, sending small bits of shrapnel like lens bits all over the place. William Robb >> Thanks William. I'm hoping it's not oil and maybe if you have had a similar experience, it's not oil. Is it difficult to take the lens mount off. No, It's not an A series lens.... Vic
