Hi,
Before I either try DIY or send it off, I was wondering if anyone had experienced stuck-aperture blades. Im a bit disappointed, the lens is out of warranty (by about 18 months) and I've probably taken less than 5,000 shots using it. Shooting fine one moment, next moment, aperture wont open back up (though the camera says aperture is fine, i.e. I can change my aperture on my canon without an issue. The blades are locked at probably F14 by the looks, its pretty closed up.
have tried: swapping lenses on camera to see if it was the camera.
Switched the camera off and on again lmao
Switched lens onto different canon bodies, still the same - so i know its the lens.
Cheers
