Anyone else experiencing this? Can it be fixed?

Various posters asked "How about the A70-210/4?"
Well, as some have already written, it's a fabulous lens. Nice handling and
build, very sharp indeed, and pleasant rendering of out-of-focus backgrounds
(and sometimes subjects but that's nothing to do with the lens!). In my

It's always good to know that someone else has felt that heartstopping
moment, followed by an overwhelming sense of relief...
... when they realise their ME Super has rattly strap lugs

"Is this normal for a ME Super...?"
Try again with the strap lugs removed, or held tightly to prevent them from
moving.
Hope this helps - good luck.

Just a tip that you probably know already:
Remove the 1A filter (if you have one fitted), as the flat glass surface can
reflect light sources such as streetlight, directly towards your subject!!!
The curved front element reduces this risk dramatically.
Good luck.

I have this lens, and the FA28-70/4, and by comparison the A24-50 seems much
more prone to flare than the newer lens. However the build quality and
"feel" of the A is wonderful, making it a pleasure to use with the MEsuper.
Likes: Build, feel, well matched to MEs, overall sharpness
Dislikes: Flare
Not at all. I took the camera into Stephens Classic Cameras of St Ann's
