Not only is he in my lens leaving fingerprints on the rearmost element of this M42 zoom, one of his shady chums has smeared stuff on the diaphragm blades so that they take about three seconds to close. Has anyone taken this lens apart, at least enough to get to the blades and clean them and have a go at removing the fungus fingerprints? It was a cheap Ebay purchase so it's no great risk but I've never tackled a zoom before, and some pointers would be useful.
