I have a Minolta mount 28-70 zoom that was sold through Sears. The problem is the aperature has become slow to operate. I suspect oil on the blades. Does anyone know who manufactured this lens and/or how to best disassemble for cleaning?
Thanks

No, but I'm going through a Vivitar 28/135 which was made by Cosina in 1984. It isn't much fun...the aperture blades are also covered in oil, and they are smack in the middle of the lens, and separating the two halves doesn't seem to be a good prospect.
