*Hi All*

* *

*Here's a tricky question. I have an old OM lens – Sigma Pantel
1:2.8f=135mmMade in Japan. On the aperture dial it has from
2.8-22m then PAN 64 in red writing. *

*I have this connected to my E500 via an adapter, however it seems the
aperture control is not working – seems to be set wide open. Changing from
22 to 2.8 makes no difference to the actual exposure. *

*Looking at the lens off the body, turning the aperture dial does not seem
to be physically attached to blades at all. It is however moving a small
metal arm on the inside of the mounts.*

* *

*Anyone know whether the lens is faulty, or what I am looking at?*

*Matt *
