You must have used a fast shutter speed (1/500sec.). The time it takes to open and close these very large blades is relatively long compared to the total time of exposure. If this weren't such a big aperture lens it would be no problem. In the future you will probably see it happen now and then with the 180mm f2.8, depending on the brightness of the blurry spots and the shutter speed used. Yes, it's normal.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=200805\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
