HELP!!! I sold my Zeiss Sonnar 180 recently (working when shipped). I don't know what happened but when purchaser received it, the aperture no longer worked. When I got it back, I got in touch with Rick Oleson for some diagrams and took it apart. The apeture assembly was completely screwed up and the blades were all over the place.
I tried putting them back together and have given up after 2 weeks. Can anyone fix this or have a reccomendation for someone in the US that can?

I will give them a go at a last resort. It upsets me that I can't figure it out. I hate it when I can't fix things myself Sad

Aperture problem is typical trouble of this lens, I bought also one with working aperture and now stuck wide open.
