I can get a OM 50mm f1.4 cheap because it has sticky aperture.
Any chance to reapir that?
Has anybody done it?

Yes, not difficult. I had 50mm f1.8 with stuck aperture, I put to local shop and they did clean it.

thank you for your fast - and positiv reply Attila.
I'm afraid that shops in Vienna won't be chaep, but I know many in Bangkok, Hanoi, Delhi, Manila, Kathmandu, Denpasar asf. and they do a wonderful job Smile
Problem is that I don't have a camera I can mount it on ( though I remember member xtricky did the conversion to K mount ) and that I better give it as a present to a young friend - but he lives in Vienna - who just got a Oly E410, I already bought him the OM > 4/3 adapter Rolling Eyes

Yes, they can make Kalasnyikov also with hand tools only Wink I did work in India I know them.

Here cleaning cost around 20 EUR.

No need for a Kalasnyikov..yet
and 20 Euro is not too bad, but for that only in Budapest, or also in Vienna?

I did not buy it..
it was on ebay linquishing at 10 or 12 Euro, thought nobody wanted it for the sticky aperture, but in the end it sold for, well I don't remember for how much exactly, 50ish, anyway for more that I had bid.
