Jens, I think I exercised it 1000 times. Didn't make a difference. Off to
Pentax Sweden with the M28/2.8 and yes, they could fix it for 788 SEK,
that's about 110 USD. I think you could have one on ebay for less. the
question is however, how prone old M-lenses are for this kind of disease. I
have at
a while, anyway :-)

I agree that you have a couple of lenses which need a cleaning.

Perhaps you have sticking aperture blades, and they don't stop down
sufficiently. I experienced that problem in the studio with flash lighting and
a sticky lens.

Hi folks,
I was trying out some of my K and M lenses on the *istD: 24/2.8, M28/2.8,
35/2.8, M50/1.4, M85/2. I was really looking forward to use some of these
old pearls. The strange thing is that I get very o

This time I only tested two lenses. *istD M mode + the green button.
Aperture 8 in both cases. Same scene. M50/1.7 works just fine, M50/1.4
gives totally washed out overexposures. Any clue?
