It was because of sticky oil on blades...

Et regarde le J-9 que j'ai reçu derni?rement :

Outch, it hurts just looking at it Sad That bent diaph blade doesn't seems easy to fix ...

While re-assembling it, don't forget you've got young children around : no rude words Wink

It can't be fixed until I have spare blades as all of those displayed are broken Sad

Fortunately I can keep my mouth close even with such a defect.... Evil or Very Mad

Actually it was quite easy to extract all aperture blades: just remove the lenses elements. Repair job will not be at the same level I guess... Sad

How do you plan to repair the aperture blades ? Obtain a set of blades from a defect J9 or having them made ? (I think you wrote on Hardware.fr about a craftsman able to make custom mounts).

I've asked for a replacement set or a opticaly defectiv J-9 to the seller - no reply so far.
Actually I know nobody who is abble to make custom mount (appart from the one on eBay pointed to us by Orio) but a people with a lathe. And I think making a J-9 aperture blades set will be more expensive thant a brand new J-9 from Ukrain Wink

Yes, that's a brave thing to do. But if a lens is not working at all...

I once had a Tamron 4/135 down to that, reassembling was not easy. Putting the diaphragm blades together need a steady hand and a lot of patience.

Well, I don't have spare blades... but I can still use this lens but wide open Laughing
