Hi

I recently bought a Super Takumar 55mm 1,8, I have a doubt because the diagraph ring is not smooth, sometimes I have problems to move it.
Some days ago I went out to take photos, the temperature was of -10C and it stop moving.

Is that normal with this kind of lenses?

old greese - take it apart, clean and lubricate

I have no experience using lens at -10C(!) Possibly somebody re-lubed lens. However, if diaphragm ring (or focus ring) is not smooth in warmer temperature, lower temperature would worsen smoothness, yes? Perhaps lens has been dropped deforming the ring...

You can probably buy a good one for less money than a CLA.
