so I just received my yashinon and I'm rather pleased as it in what appears untouched condition but the aperture when open doesn't fully open!! now I don't know if this is how its designed or if this is an issue with the lens.
I took the pic with my phone so dont judge;) has anyone seen this before?

I don't have this lens, guess it is quite rare and dear..but I'd definitely say the aperture not opening fully is not normal, I have had this with other lenses and got it fixed _________________ my photos on flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kuuan/collections |

The lens is designed like that, this aperture behavior is normal for this lens.
I have it - mine is mamiya branded but it's the same lens - and I really love it, so congrats for your new lens! _________________ C&C and editing of my pics are always welcome

Yes I can confirm that my Mamiya does that too. Never noticed it before.
Miranda 52/2.8 was also made like this. May be this is a macro thing?
