Thanks John. I took a look under the mount. It seems to be a rather flimsy linkage, with lots of play. Movement of the pin translates into rotation of a rod, or is it the other way around? The aperture blades aren't budging so I guess I'll go in a little deeper tomorrow. I looked at Arax. Their service prices are dirt cheap, but the shipping there and back is a little expensive. I'll evaluate the camera over the winter and make a decision next spring. I also bought a Mir 38, which should arrive from Russia any day, so I will have another lens to test it with. The meter is off by 2-3 stops. I recall seeing some article on calibrating one but didn't bookmark it. If anyone has that link, I'd appreciate it. Cheers, George |
