yes, the aperture work flawless. I've set the camera mode to manual an tried controling the aperture with the camera and everything went great. f8 was darker than f4.
I tried cleaning the contacts with a cloth and acetone and it did not help. I was not able to obtain any other camera to try it with. All my other screw driven lenses work fine (DA 40 & 70 )
when I put the lens on the camera I have to input the focal length for the SR system and when I look through the viewfinder it says MF and I cant really see the aperture value in the viewfinder. It always says F-- although it changes the value on the main screen. is that normal?
