I recently acquired a Vivitar 28-135 zoom for the camera, and on the first role I shot, all of the pictures shot through that lens seem about 2 stops under exposed. I had the store I bought the camera from double check everything and nothing looks wrong. I have examined the lens myself and it looks fine. When I switch between this lens and the lens that came with the camera set to the same aperature, the exposure reading stays the same. It is possible, but very unlikely, that I had the film speed set wrong the whole time I shot the first role. (Unlikely, since shots done with other lenses on that roll came out fine). Does anyone out there have an explanation? My second problem is that ever since I started switching lenses on the camera, 3-4 shots per roll come out absolutely black (as if never exposed). I have never figured out whether the black frames correspond to lens changes, but I see no reason why they should. Again, the camera store people have no explanation. (My other accessory lens is a tamron 80-210 zoom that I have used for 3 years without trouble). Warren Montgomery ihnss!warren
