I have recently discovered how wonderful my Canon 100 f2 lens is.
I use it on my Canon rangefinders (mostly VT DeLuxe and VI-T), and now on my Nikon Z6.
The first pic on the Z6 was a portrait in evening room light, a great pic that I'd never have got on the film cameras because of the low light.
Any way, I have another 100 f2 in the drawer that has no aperture blades.
That is not so bad, given how great the lens is at F2.
However, if I could find some blades, I'd put them in. It takes 13 blades.
Yes, reassembling an iris can be a challenge, but I recently cleaned and rebuilt a 10-blade Konirapid-S on a Konica III.
Any ideas for finding some blades for this?
I suppose I could try too make blades from scratch.
In the meantime, I'll just use it as is. Again, this lens is really great at f2.
