I'd say you are not baffled but rather apertured! ;-)
(As others have already explained what the likely culprit is.)
I've had one lens that came with a deffect from KEH (not working AF).
KEH paid for the shipping to them, repaired it and sent it back to me at
no additional cost to me.
I would not waste much of time trying to figure out what the problem is.
The lens doesn't work properly.
As somebody already mentioned, in your case they might just send a
replacement.
Good luck, Eric!

Picked up my 16-45/4 from KEH today, put it on the camera, and I.m totally
baffled. When I look through the viewfinder it.s very dark, almost black.
With
the lens wide open I can barely make out objects in the field of view only
when
pointed directly at a strong light source. And I can.t actuate the
shutter.
Replacing the 16-45 with a 35/2.4 I have absolutely no problem.
I feel really stupid, but i have no idea what.s going on. Any clues?
