I don't know what web search I was doing that brought me to this forum - but after reading this thread and seeing the true "community" of Sony owners here - I signed up!
You have GOT TO LOVE THIS forum !!!!!!!
First, a very generous member PMs me and offers to loan me his A900 if I was in a jam ... and then this fellow dbogdan simply solves the problem.
Never experienced such an odd thing, so I would never have thought to do it. Looked at the aperture lever and it was firmly up at the top 2:30 position ... but I moved it all the way down and back up again ... and it worked !!!
Thank You!
What a piggish thing to say! :cussing: Very patriarchal. :lecture: Women are not to be lent?! As the old t-shirt says: A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. I'm sorry about the Sony failure. I'm glad I'm not a professional photographer. I read about shooting weddings and I think "I'm glad I don't have to do that." The only wedding I've been at for about forty years was my own, and that was the biggest mistake I ever made. It has always been the fine art aspect of photography that interested me. Aperture monographs and such are very inspiring to me. Minor White was the best in my opinion.I guess the morale of this story is, cameras don't like to change hands. As far as I'm concerned, women and cameras (and especially lenses) are never to be lent

Started having the exact same problem today, on about pic 245 of 317 I took today. I was using 5 FPS a lot today, shutter speeds ranging from 1/800 to 1/4000, mostly around 1/1000 to 1/2000... other than that no unusual treatment. I started off with my 80-200, shot most of the day with the 500, though I put the 28-135 on for a few shots later in the day. The 28-135 shots show the exact same artifact. Camera has never been dropped or banged. Suddenly my pictures started looking like this:lencover23 said:
Glad to see another woman. There are very few of us in the online Sony communities and I think if there were more of us there would be less negativity.I don't know what web search I was doing that brought me to this forum - but after reading this thread and seeing the true "community" of Sony owners here - I signed up!
Thanks!
I guess the Sony specialist did not either...I mean really how could they have missed THIS?but I don't see how this defect on the edge of the shutter leaf could affect the whole frame top to bottom.
