I have searched the postings for any comments on 'Robot lens', but nothing found.
I have bought (ebay!) the above camera and find the lens iris stuck at,I reckon f16. The front setting rim clicks nicely but does not alter the iris. The brass lens looks undamaged(undented)focus moves slighty stiffly.
When set to min distance 1.75ft there are three equi distance tiny screws seen around the lens body.The iris sems to be in the 'middle' of the body. The front and rear elements have 'peg'lock rings, so could be removed but unsure if this would achive anything. the rear face of the lens is flush to the camera body, no signs of an unscrewing ring. Just one tiny brass pin in a locating ?hole. Tried pressing it in but it's solid. My previous 'suck it and see' unscrewing things have not all been sucessful! so, not wishing to kill a rare camera/lens I wait for any advice, thanks silversurfer |
