This lens was working properly mechancially to beign with except it had a little slop in the focus ring. I removed the rear lens group to clean some fungus and when I put it back I could no longer change the aperture. Pressing the pin did nothing. Now after further efforts neither the focus ring nor the aperture ring work. Pressing the pin changes the aperture from about 8 to about 14.
There is not much wrong with this lens (apart from the fungus) but I need some kind of guidance.
