I've seen talk about how poor this lens is - could somebody or everybody elaborate? The outer ring has the following writing on it -<<<< Welcome to the list, Judy. Do the lens aperture blades open and close freely? When you put the aperture to f16, flick the little lever on the back of the lens that stops down the lens. If that doesn't work freely, that's why you're getting overexposures. Also check for evidence of oil on the aperture blades.
