DOF indicator malfunction

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I noticed that when I attach my 24mm lens to the 007 that the DOF indicator on the top of the camera does not work consistently.

 

I have found that if I take lens off and then put it back on that the DOF indicator works for a while.

 

There is no issue with the lens' spectacular performance in that while the DOF indicator is off the photograph produced is perfect....

 

Seems to me that it is a contact issue between camera and the specific lens as All other lens work fine.

 

HOWEVER, the curious thing is that when I use the 24mm lens on my other 007, the 24mm DOF registers perfectly.

 

THEREFORE, are we dealing with a contact issue on the 24 or the 007? 

 

Very strange....

 

Any suggestions...

 

Thanks,

Albert

I have the same issue. But it occurs on all of my lens (24, 35, 70, 30-90, 100), so I deduced that it's a problem with the body....

My other lenses do not have the issue... It may be the CONTACT on your body that is at fault.
