Hi there.
I'm hoping a skilled owner of a 40mm Summicron can help me...
Mine recently had a collision with a brick wall and the two outer rings were dented, I've owned the lens about 12 years and thought I'd risk trying to fix it myself, considering the value. I was able to disassemble the lens and repair the damage so that the aperture ring can turn freely once again, however, upon reassembling, I realised I was in over my head. It's back together but the aperture ring no longer adjusts the blades.
I was hoping someone out there would be kind enough to make a video of themselves disassembling and reassembling their 40mm Summicron so that I could follow step by step.
This may be a long shot, but worth a try.
Apologies if this is not the correct place to post.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much @splitimageview — it's exactly what I'm after except he hasn't dismantled the lens to the extent I have.
