I bought a Vivitar 80-200/f4.0 lens new in the box about a month ago,
when I first started my Olympus "frenzy". When I tried the lens on one
of my 2n bodies, it worked fine, but on the second 2n, the meter always
read in the 1/8 sec vicinity. Last week, I was sitting in the back yard
of a friend's house (where we stayed on our vacation) and was just
trying out various lenses. I put the 80-200 on the second 2n body and
once again got the 1/8 sec. meter indication. I pulled out the first 2n
and the meter read fine... until I turned the aperture ring to f22.
Then, I heard a click and the meter dropped to the 1/8 sec. range like
the second body does. Later, I checked the aperture indicator lever on
the back of the 80-200... it's .5 mm shorter than any other lens that I
have.
My question is, have any of you run into this before, and what can be
done about it? Should I contact the seller of the lens (a camera store)
or go directly to Vivitar and see if they will do a warranty repair,
since the lens was purchased new by me. Thanks for your help.
