<p>Thank you for your response Douglas,<br />I've tried the lens on another body already and the same problem occurs.<br />Different lens works on both bodies so it's definitely a lens problem.<br>

I'll check if Dutch prices are lower because for that kind of money I can buy a newer second hand CF version.</p>

<p>Alright, hopefully this will clear things up.</p>

<p>As you described the sequence should be " you press the shutter button, and both shutter and aperture (invisible, hidden by the shutter) close - the shutter immediately opens for as long as the exposure is supposed to last (revealing the aperture) - the shutter shuts again, and stays shut until you wind the film and cock the shutter."<br>

Instead I get: you press the shutter button, both the shutter and aperture close, shutter doesn't open for exposure, wind the film and the shutter cocks again.<br>

<br>

Thank you for the help</p>

<p>Being unable to find a direct answer to my question in previous topics, I'd like to pose my question here.<br>

From one shot to another the shutter appears to be failing.<br />after pressing the shutter release button, the shutter in de lens directly closes and only opens after releasing the shutter release button.<br>

So instead of opening up with a closed aperture, the shutter closes directly.<br>

To me it seems there should be a simple solution because the shutter can open and close, but just not in the right sequences.<br />Hopefully someone can help, otherwise I'll have to send it off for repair.</p>

<p>As stated above, it all depends on your style of shooting.<br>

Though I would keep the 17-40. This way you have the 17-40 as an allround, 50 for portraiture and the 70-200 as tele.</p>
