Hi,

It depends ... It could be just a weak spring (quite easy to fix), or damaged blades (more expensive to fix) ...

I hope you understand that, with the information you supplied, that's all you will get as reply, as there could be so many reasons causing the aperture to remain wide open (i think there has been someone in this forum talking about a lens whose diaphragm blades were cannibalized to fix another one) ...

If i were you, i would buy it only if it is really really cheap ...

Cheers

First Contax lens what I hear with this kind of trouble... be careful I rather think this lens had open in kitchen and couldn't rebuild properly than other easy fixable problem.
