Something I noticed with the 24-70GM.
The aperture opening closes as I zoom from 70mm towards 24mm.
So, If the aperture blades are fully opened at f/2.8, it looks stopped down at 24mm even though it\'s still f/2.8.
I never noticed that with any other zoom lens or didn\'t play close attention. It does not happen with my FE 70-200/4. Thoughts?
I noticed the same with the FE 4/24-70 and I know of several constant aperture zooms (Minolta MD 3.5/35-70 for example) where it ist the same. You can actually mod that Minolta so that it becomes a 2.8-3.5. So I wouldn\'t worry about transmission.
