help with Nikon 50mm 1.8 af

by Steve <srjm72499@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Feb 23, 2008 at 08:27 AM

I recently purchased two used lenses from different sources, and just
received them in the mail (yea!). Both are nikon: 85mm and 50mm 1.8
lenses. However, when comparing images from the two, I'm noticing that
the 50 is consistenly 1 exp position underexposed. I can compensate in
the auto modes by bumping up the exposure, so I first thought this
might just be a meteringt thing. However, I just tried a comparison
shooting outdoor shots in full manual. For the same shutter speed
(1/60), f/8 ap on the 85 gave the same as f/5 for the 50mm. f/8 on the
50 was a LOT darker...

Is this normal, and if not, what can I do (short of getting rid of the
lens) .

Thanks.
-Steve
