So, today I took delivery of the 14-24/2.8 and 100/2.8VR (both of which I swore I'd never get ... LOL!)
I go to use the 100 and the darn thing wouldn't let me select f/2.8 ... f/4 was was the best it would give me on any setting :wtf:, yet another item to send back :banghead:
So, before doing that I thought to ask you folks first ... then it dawned on me to read the manual so I don't look to dumb ... sure enough ...PG 23, item #9: "Setting the Aperture" ... "the effective aperture varies with shooting distance" ... I've never heard of such a thing on a fixed prime lens ... what's up with that?
(Nice lens BTW)
