Gary, Thanks for your input; two related lens questions:
On my 200m f5 (recent used purchase), the aperture lever jutting out the
rear of the lens is a little sticky at bouncing back to full open when
tested off camera. I tested for the same in the store and didn't notice
anything before I bought it ($95.00). I cycled the aperture lever in my
hands 30-40 times after discovering the problem and it got much better but
it still sticks a little. Can I pull the rear ring off and somehow free up
the aperture ? It appears pretty deep in the lens.
On my 100m f2.8, The aperture ring (for setting the f stop) clicks smartly
when turned to the right (towards larger apertures) but seems a little mushy
when turned to the left. I've developed a habit of turning the ring full
left (highest opening) and then turning back to the f stop I want; I hear
and feel a clear stop that way. This is also a well used lens, and
otherwise, functions great. Will this lens hit the right f stop going in
both directions even though it doesn't feel clean ? Will it worsen over
time ? Any sort of cheap & easy adjustment/fix ?
