dear all
has anyone faced problems with their 12-60 aperture being stuck at f22 regardless of setting input from the camera?
this means that even if the aperture value is set to 2.8, the physical aperture in the lens remains stopped down, and the viewfinder is dim.
i did a quick search online and found that this is a frequent problem with this lens:

i find it puzzling because since this seems to be a design/technical flaw rather than actual damage due to mishandling.
kindly share your experience(s) please.
thank you.
