When I manually zoom the lens the aperture is not adjusting inside. Checked it by doing it off the camera body. And I know the canon body can't adjust the aperture as it has no way of interacting with the lever which controls the aperture.

This is a pentax lens adapted to a canon dslr. So if I have manually set the aperture to wide open. (got it stuck there with blutac atm). And I zoom the lens, I've also checked that the aperture is not changing in the lens. (It remains wide open). Have I effectively got the lens operating at 200mm f3.5?
Hi Jasp,
I understood that you were holding the iris open with blutak on the lever. Is it a Pentax lens or Pentax mount lens by Sigma/Tamron ? Can you post a link to it online? Almost certainly not f3.5

Best
JA
