Stuck Diaphragm on Canon 50mm F:1.2

[LeicaTom]

My f1.4 needs adjusting to my Canon 7s....I have to get that taken care of as well, lot`s of good tips here

And I`m also looking for a decent clean glass Canon f1.2 - if anyone has one they are thinking of parting with......or a good lead to one, please let me know 🙂

anyone of you-all willing to put a 50mm 1.2 up for sale? I'm looking for one again if the price is right

Can anyone recommend a good lubricant to use?
(... for my 50/1.2 ltm....)

Raid---
If DAG worked on your lens awhile back, you are probably good for at least 25 more years!! He almost certainly cleaned up the old grease and relubed it when he did the adjustments. With modern lubricants, these lenses should perform well past most of our lifetimes.

If you do have a problem with the 1.4, it could be a DIY project. It is a relatively simple lens, and not prohibitively expensive if you do send it out.
Meanwhile, it is worth it, as it's one fine optic.

Nice tips over here....I will try to tighten the focusing ring on my 50mm 1.4 Canon LTM by the rear approach, just waiting for my spanner...🙄..

If that is your 19mm Canon on a Leica CL - I am a little jealous. . . ;-) I have a 15mm Voigtlander and a 25mm F:3.5 Canon - so I don't REALLY need a 19mm Canon . . . I'd ask how good it is - but I expect it is GREAT.

I use the Canon 19mm F3.5 quite a bit, and Yes it is GREAT.
A lens I appreciate more and more, as I use it.
