Hello, I have a Kowa 150mm for the Kowa 66 and 6 cameras that has recently become sluggish. The leaf shutter itself is still crisp and pretty close to keeping time, but the diaphragm that closes immediately after pressing the shutter release sticks, and will not fully close.
Does anybody have experience cleaning this or other Kowa lenses, or know where I could buy/download the Kowa lens repair manuals (I have the Kowa 66 repair manual already). Thanks in advance for your help!
