Some news from the lens recovery project. Well i dismantled the lens from rear, and found that the spring (in place) seems not strong enough to move blades to minimum aperture compatible with the aperture setting (I tried to mark items in the picture, beg your pardon for my poor knowledge of specific, technical terms). For example, in my old Yashica ML 135, the spring seems strong enough to move them fine. I went on cleaning the blades by unscrewing the rear optical group and using lightning fluid. Nevertheless the spring doesn't seem strong enough to make the blades move. Do you think as me that the problem is the spring? If yes, where might I look for another one, cannibalizing an old lens, perhaps? Kind regards, Stefano  |
