The lens is a RMC Tokina 135mm 1:2.8 (manual focus and aperture)
My problem is that the lens often stays wide open when i shoot, no matter where i set the aperture ring. I get heavily overexposed photos with horrible CA because it's wide open.
* When not mounted on camera the aperture closes and opens ok when i turn the aperture ring.
* When i press the green button (on my K-5) to measure exposure i can see the aperture stops down.
* If i take a long exposure, let's say 1 second, i can see that the aperture stops down on exposure when i look into the lens. So it seems to be a problem only on normal and short exposure times.
See attached image, i suspect the problem can be with in the the little thing pointed out (don't know what it's called). I suppose the camera moves this to stop down on exposure. But it can't do it quick enough? When i move it by hand i notice it doesn't move just as easy as on my other lenses.
Is it possible to fix this?
