Just looking to trouble-shoot a query about the Fujinon 135 5.6 W lens and see if there's an issue with it?
This is a new lens to me and I was just practicing with it in my 4x5 camera, focusing etc.
I noticed that when I click the lens open and go to move the aperture slider, the image circle does not move at all. In the previous lens I had, I could open up or stop down the aperture while focusing and could see the change in the amount of light affecting my focusing. So when practicing with this lens, I noticed this difference and how the image circle would never go smaller when I did try to stop down the aperture.
I did look at the lens more closely off the camera and the aperture blades are moving in and out when I look behind the lens itself. When taking a shot, the aperture is at the correct setting here, so if I selected a f/8 aperture, the lens takes the shot at f/8.
Is this just how this lens functions? I'm looking for some feedback to make sure the lens is working correctly. I always focus using the largest possible aperture anyway but am just asking in case something is a miss.
Thanks
