I have acquired a Yashinon 200mm f4 lens of my own.
Optically it is excellent but had an aperture problem.
It is in excellent condition except for one thing - the aperture blades are sluggish to slow, and won't operate below about f5.6. There is oil on the blades.
My son has taken the lens and given it a complete service - repairing the aperture to "as-new" condition, and cleaning the lens elements while at it.
This might sound like a proud dad speaking, but that boy is amazing.
I asked him to document the steps in the process of dis-assembly and he has agreed.
Hopefully, it will be posted here on the forum for anyone else to see, who might have a similar problem.
As I watch, he is repairing his own Minolta Auto-Rokkor PF 55mm f1.8

You are fortunate your son can fix your lenses like that.
What wood is that table made from? Did you make it?
How do you rate the Yashinon with your other 200s? |
Yes, my son has a gift for understanding the way that things go together and is quite skilled.
The wood in the table is camphor laurel. Yes it is one of mine and I finished it recently for our Guild Wood Show.
It grows wild along the east coast of Australia and is considered a pest species.
The timber is usually beautifully coloured towards the heart of the tree.
It is easy to work and has a delightful camphor aroma when cut or shaved.
As for how the Yashinon compares to other 200mm lenses - I will have a shootout one day, but its great joy is the way that it handles - its ergonomics are very good in the hand.
Thanks again

I thought that might be camphor, because my brother had a bunch of it and made cutting boards for everyone in the family from it. When you sand or plane that wood it gives off a pretty strong smell. You made good use of the wood grain on your table. I like wood very much and can do some simple wood working, but wood is very expensive here in Hungary. |

Mucho Gratias Amigo.
Camphor Laurel is such a pest over here that it is felled constantly and is available free to whoever can collect it.
The Woodworkers Guild that I belong to has its own slabbing mill and we are constantly milling camphor.
It is considered a cheap timber on the east coast of Australia, although it will not grow in Tasmania and the Tasmanians value it highly.

A wet day here so what to photograph on a wet day - something from the shelter of the verandah.
Wet foliage can work.
The Yashinon gave me enough reach.
Here are some images from this little shoot.

A Yashica JP was my first SLR and I always loved the aesthetic of the chrome and black lenses. I think all the ones produced are shown here: 28mm, 35mm, 50mm (f/1.4. 1.7 and 2), 135mm and 200mm. All the lenses remain very usable to this day.
As far as I know (which may not be much) the DX line of lenses is single-coated. Multi-coating began with the DS-M series. _________________ Best wishes,

Yes, I am sure that you are right about the single coating.
Also agree that the aesthetics of these lenses are something special.
That is a lovely collection - congratulations

Mate, your son is far more capable than I am...I've done a few takumars, jenas and rokkors but when I set about trying to cleaning my recently acquired Yashinon 200 f/4 and all i have are a bunch of screws but its still all in one piece! Im stumped! Im up in Brisbane or I would have brought it to you for a consult..
Did you ever come up with a set of instructions for the disassembly? I would very much appreciate your son's insights on how to go about this
Cheers

I'm not sure if the process was ever documented, but you can message him as he sometimes visits the forum.
