Hi everyone,

I just picked up a 35RC today. Its in fantastic condition and everything seems to work except one thing:
The aperture moves freely and quickly as normal, but it does not open all the way at f2.8, so there seems to be something wrong with the blades or the mechanism. I added a pictures with the aperture set to 2.8 and the shutter open in B mode. You can see its not all the way open on one side.
I have some basic experience in fixing cameras and a pretty good technical understanding but I am far from being a camera technician.

What might be wrong here?
Does anyone have a guide on how to get to the aperture?

All help and hints is greatly appreciated!
