I have a 520m cds and I remember thinking I had a problem with the maximum aperture as well. Having looked at it though, I think it is operating properly. Harryrag is correct, with the rear lens off, it appears as if the aperture is not nearly opening enough. I have looked at my camera again, and when looking through the front element, at f2, I can still see the blades (this is not usually the case on other camreas). There is however a distinct difference between f2 and f2.8. When I compare the size of the aperture openings with cameras with the same focal length lens, it looks correct. This may just be a unique characteristic of this lens and shutter combination. Just for the record, there are no markings on my camera showing the shutter model. |
