Daniel,
Is this a breech lock mount, or FD (new) mount? The new FD mount lenses only close to working aperture when mounted on a camera, unless you simulate the effect - not an easy thing to do if you do not know what exactly to press and turn.
The older self-locking breech lock lenses will also ony close the set aperture when the locking collar is turned to lock the lens on the camera. Again - this can be simulated by pushing on a small spring-loaded contact inside the breech mount.
Just thought I gave these pointers before you tear into the lens.....
Good luck,
Jan |
