When stopping down the lens (at f/16), look at the apeture
blades from BOTH sides (it doesn't always show on both sides and may
only be visible from one side). We had a Zuiko 55 1.2 come in the other
day with the same problem. We're selling it as is, priced at normal MINUS
the high estimate for repair (locally $65). IMHO, a lens of this type is
worth paying an expert to do correctly :) I felt it (the only I bought
personally recently) to be worthy of a B&W filter even :)
enjoy,
Brad
