The camera shows the aperture is being changed however when I half press the shutter to set the focus and exposure, the lens isn't changing to the relevant aperture. The contacts look very clean however I will still give them a clean.

Am definitely sticking with the 27mm over the 35mm. I want to be discrete when taking street photographs and the 27mm is only 23mm in depth vs 45.9mm of the 35mm so it's a lot more compact and less noticeable.

Milandro - because of the cost. I've seen new 27mm lenses on eBay for £150. Just after opinions and if others have experienced the same issue.

Thanks yukosteel. I need to remember to search for Fujinon rather than Fujifilm when looking at lenses as it returns better results. My lens does work, but only at f2.8, which is not very useful to me especially for street photography, so I may have a go at disassembly as a last resort.

Thanks mdm, that is a great link. Still need to see if the 27mm is repairable.

Hi all, The aperture blades are stuck on my 27mm lens. It's definitely the lens rather than the camera as I've tried the same lens on another camera and have the exact same issue. I guess this is not user repairable and needs to be done by an authorised dealer ? Searching via Google tells me this doesn't seem to be a common problem on this lens so I guess I'm just unlucky. If it cannot be repaired cost effectively am torn between another 27mm and the 35mm f2. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Phil.
