Suddenly I can´t change the Fstop on my camera at all, I´m freaking out.
Anyone knows about it or about a good 5D forum where I can get help?

AV mode = aperture priority.
whack it in there, spin the wheel!

Make sure you don't have the rear wheel set up to change focus points.

If you've already tried changing all the settings and clearing all the custom functions, try re-installing the firmware. If this fails you're looking at sending her in for repair. Sorry dude. I've never heard of this happening before, good luck.

Weird because lenses usually throw an error99 when they have communication probs with the body.

You're holding it wrong?

did you get it working? I had a lens do this on a 20D for a while, it got slowly worse, where I had to turn on and off the camera, remove the lens and battery, etc... sometimes got err99, sometimes not, then my 20D died.. so beware!
It didn't happen with a different lens.... never happened on a 5D or 5D mark II for me....
- Scary shit...Ambushstudio
- if you hear weird clicking noises right after you mount the lens, beware!vaxorcist

he already stated that 1) it's on all lenses:

Donde deal guys.
I had to reset the camera and install the firmware from the earliest to the latest, one by one, and BLAM works again.
I´m so happy, thanks for your advice and suggestions.
all cool now.
