As it turns out, I have in my possession a malfunctioning D40 that was acquired for a very small amount of money. The issue with it is that you can't stop the lens down past its maximum aperture. When you attempt to take a picture at anything besides wide open you get an err message. In addition, images taken at wide open in aperture priority are horribly underexposed, even though the camera is indicating a correct exposure. I've cleaned all of the lens contacts with alcohol already; no dice. It would be nice if I could salvage this body because it only has 7,300 shutter actuations on it.
