I bought a used Yashica MC 35-70 and found, that the aperture blades didn't move when I changed the aperture manually. So I opened the back-side of the lens and found, that when the lens is in 70mm-position, the engaging piece for the piece which moves the blades easily looses the contact to the peace which moves the aperture blades. Is this a common failure, or happended something special to this lens? In all other zoom-positions there is no problem, for instance when i go to 65 till 35 . The problem is, when I move back to the 70 position, usually the contact gets lost. So my workaround is, to not use the 70 mm position or if I want to use it fix the desired aperture in 65 mm position and then move to the 70 ´position. Is there a fix for this? I thought about making the piece just a little bit longer by gluing some little metal part to the piece which moves the blades (sorry for my not perfect englisch).
