I have recently bought a new Canon 5D mark IV and am having problems with exposure. I am using an older EF 24-105 lens. I have experimented with different metering modes and still seem to have the problem. Two photos taken back-to-back with exactly the same settings and the same field of view have dramatically different exposures. One will be just fine, the next completely blown out. See an example below:
ISO 320 1/400 sec f/14
ISO 320 1/400 sec f/14
Any ideas, suggestions. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the camera and/or lens?

"Any ideas, suggestions."
Yes, your lens did not stop down. Simple. Are you using high speed shooting mode?
Wait, wait, did I hear somebody say "light flicker"?

No, you did not. You’re hearing voices in your head again.

"...it sounds like a stuck aperture."
The aperture can't be stuck. It might be sticking but since it works some or most of the time it can't be stuck.
