Hi Everyone, I'm new here and a new purchaser of a K20D. I've had the camera for 2 weeks now and have only had limited time to shoot with it. This weekend I took it outside and immediately noticed a problem. Every shot was horribly overexposed unless I set the aperture wide open on my DA* 16-50mm. When I attached the manual lenses everything was fine so I assumed this was an issue with the new lense, until I noticed that even when I set the aperture to f22 on my manual lenses I had no depth of field. Through a little more investigation I found that the camera is not operating the aperture on the lenses. The little lever that operates the aperture is no longer able to move.
I wanted to check and make sure this is a fluke and not a problem others have had. I'm pretty sure that this is not my own doing, but I am accident prone so I wouldn't be too surprised. All I've done with the camera is take it to Vermont for vacation a week ago. It was very cold there and the camera wasn't entirely happy with that, but otherwise there were no other issues.
Any responses to this would be appreciated, I'm going to take the camera back to get serviced, I'm just a bit annoyed that I finally dropped the money on it and within two weeks it's hospital bound.
