I think it ought to... when you press on it with your finger you should see the lens open up.

The iris should close down at the AE setting when the lens isn't mounted, but when mounted to the camera, a little lever on the lens mount will open the iris up and will keep it open until the shutter fires. Or should do!

Viewfinder should be bright at f2.5. Sounds like the iris is closed right down.

Are you using a PKA mount? Is lens set to the 'AE' position?

What happens if you set it to f2.5 on the aperture ring?

Love Grasshopper and Froghopper! The Fly shot is freakishly sharp. The thing on the blackberry is just freakish!

If you see the dust when you look through the viewfinder, it's in the viewfinder rather than on the sensor.

Got to say, I haven't had that many bad experiences with ebay, and I've had some proper bargains. Never had a lens I've had to send back. Once I had something go missing in the post, but got a refund. Poor item descriptions go with the territory, but sometimes those poorly described items sell for less than what they're worth.

Well unfortunately I live in a top floor flat which makes fitting a satellite fish tricky - fortunately though F1 holds about as much enjoyment for me as listening to my next door neighbour operating his power drill, so none of this particularly matters

I hate the fact that Sky have got it though, purely on principle.

Not without a satellite dish Stefan.

I know it's not a helpful answer, but I have never seen the point of a battery grip - not from a battery life point of view anyway. For me it's not a big issue to carry a spare battery or two and I'd rather do that than increase the bulk. If I needed to use AAs I'd consider getting a cheap one.

It's a bit of a monster!
