This lens was a present of my friend Rafa1981 (thanks, Rafa!) that came with plenty of dirt and oil on the lenses and the diaphragm blades, in such a way that the blades were so sticky that didn't move at all. Even the front plate had some letters partially erased. A nice challenge:
To get to the front lenses, the first step is to unscrew the nameplate:
Then the top barrel and the pressure spring pop out:
The front group can be removed by unscrewing it:
Then the lenses can be disassembled by unscrewing the retainer ring. No fungus, so normal cleaning (Ultrasonic bath and drying with a clean microfiber pad).
Attacking from the bottom side: first step, to unscrew the base retainer:
Three screws fix the mount:
Three more screws fix the diaphragm ensemble:
The sticky blades:
have to be cleaned in Isopropylic alcohol:
Once clean, can be reassembled:
First put the diaphragm base back on the lens:
Then put the blades in sequence with a tweezers:
To see if the blades are placed okay, push the lever that moves them, if some is wrongly placed, all them will jump out 
Once in place, put back the diaphragm cover, the mount and the retainer and exercise the lens. If everything is fine, the lens should be now operating properly. During the process I was cleaning the different parts, to remove the dust and grease.
And finally, the cosmetic part, to recover the nameplate labels:
Hope this will be useful to someone else.
Regards.
Jes.

Yes, you are right
More fun fixing it than using it. Wide open is almost unusable, too soft. Anyway I want to try it at f8 under sunlight.
But my experience with other Exakta Domiplans is that they are good caps for the camera bodies
Anyway I appreciate very much the opportunity to practice, looking forward to being able to fix more complex ones in the future.

Give it a little more thought...
Would I be giving it away, to a Scotsman as well, if it was any good?

Since my addiction began only a few short months ago I would be crazy to turn down any mf lens. I need to learn all I can so I can tell a beauty from a beast. 
It would also be the first time I've had two identical lenses which I could then compare. I would use the opportunity to create a scientific *cough* comparison test which would prove useful over the years of addiction.
I would be delighted to accept your offer sir.

Peter, are you sure your Domiplan has oil and fungus enough to be funny?

I've just bought a Domiplan with a "sticky aperture and some fungus" for a few quid.
I wouldn't have thought of buying it if I hadn't seen this thread. It has given me the confidence to try my first repair job.
Many thanks. |
You're welcome... But don't blame me if things go wrong
Good luck, I look forward for your pictures.
Jes. |
I wouldn't dream of blaming others for my disastrous attempts at restoration.
I'm waiting for the correct tools to arrive before I start, wouldn't want to bodge my first job with the nearest screwdriver.

No fungus, but plenty of dust. As for oil, probably not enough - the aperture blades still open and close OK, but you have to bang the lens down hard on the bench first!

Hi!
I recently got my Domiplan, and there is some problem with it: the aperture blades are stuck at wide open, even if I press the small thing on the back of the lenses. Okay, actually there are some small change, if I press this button; the aperture blades moves a little bit, and that's all.
So I started to find some solution to this problem (the previous owner is a generous gentleman, he said he'll buy the lenses back, if I want my money, or he'll find another kind of lenses for that price/category for me - but if I could fix it, why wouldn't I?), and I found this topic. The tutorial is great, but I stuck at the beginning.
I dont't want to disassembly the whole lenses, but only the rear front of it, to reach and if I'm able, fix the aperture blades. Can I do this without the disassembly of the front piece? If I can, then how the hell can I remove the metal piece, wich covers up the screwes?
I think to this one:
If anyone can help, I'll be really appreciative.
P.s.: sorry for my english, I'm hungarian. |
