After ~1200 shots it started to suffer from the widespread "sticky aperture blade" issue. The aperture does not stop down so if on manual then you get gross overexposure, seems the fix is to swap the lens out! I have been using it on f2.0 only the past couple of days but even then the exposure will sometimes be about 2 stops under so it will go off for repair/replacement next week. If you search on that aperture blade issue to seems very widespread over many batches of serial numbers, not what I would expect these days from Japan. Rather sad as it was only bought (used) as a stand-in while my M kit went to Solms, so probably no pictures for a while (not carrying either DSLR around) or use the P&S...... john
