Hmmm - the shutter is in the camera not the lens; can you re-word your question?
Regards - Martin

Thank You Martin. The apertture in the lens is not functioning. (Stopping down ) Turning the aperture ring will not make the lens stop down. Moving the little lever which protrudes through the lens mt. does not operate the lens. Feels as if the lever is bound up. Sorry about my terminolgy. Carl

Carl

This is a common problem on these older lenses. The lubricant has migrated down to the aperture blades, and is gumming them up. Give me your mailing address, and I'll send you a copy of the repair manual. That's a very good lens, and worth the effort.
