Hi guys i didn't post much in this section of the forum.... Just to say Hello first. I guess i am in a little trouble now, thanks for any helps and advices.
Tonight when i took my camera out of the coat pocket, i notice that the aperture ring become a little loose and the blades stick at a strange position without any response to my turning of the ring. It seems that something is wedged.... 🙁 This is my only 35mm lens, and i always loved it... i want to try solving the problem myself because sending it to the States for services will cost too much (i am in Canada).
Before i start doing that, i just want to get some advices about whether i should do that myself... and also, since i don't have any service manual of this lens, i am not sure how i should dissemble it. If i am only going to fix the aperture blades, should i only open the front elements and leave the rear ones alone? Is there anything particular that i should be careful with?
The aperture blades look like this now:
Thank you for your helps. 😛
