I just got one from eBay. The aperture is stuck wide open Sad

Anyone knows how difficult this lens is to fix?

A link would be perfect.

This model


I could sent it back, but the cost... and besides I really like it.

As far as I know this lens is nothing but a P6 lens with an adapter, right?
So, perhaps a silly question, have you tried to push that silver switch at the side of the lens? That can be used to stop down a P6 lens.

Been there, done that. Very Happy

I think I need a repair manual.

This is a very simple lens easy to open and take out blades , don't worry just take a look and try.

I will try to fix it myself.

This is what I have done.

First i removed the M42 adapter
Then I removed the 3 screws (arrow)


After removing the 3 screws, it become possible to take a part of.
This is what I am looking at now.
1 This pin moves when I turn the aperture-ring
2 The mechanism to stop down. It seems to work.
3 Only visible screws....Shout I try to removed these now, to get to the blades..?


Any advise....... Confused

After looking a little bit more, I am thinking about starting taking it apart from the front instead.

Advise is still needed...... Wink
