My 300 f4 gives me a ERR 01 message in TV mode and over exposes by almost 2 stops in AV.In M I have to compensate by almost 2 stops as well.I cleaned the contacts on the lens using a dry cloth and my 70-200
still works properly so it's not the body.
Can anybody tell me whats wrong in the lens and is it an expensive fix?

Thanks Del

Sticky or jammed apeture blades, does the lens stop down when you use the "depth of field preview" button, set something like f22 and try it.

Were you shooting in cold weather when you had the problem?

No it wasn't very cold. Hopefully I won't have the problem again.
