Good idea!!! Now I think I know what's happening but can't figure
out a fix. The iris lever on the lens is a little farther from the
center than on another good lens and the lever on the body a little
closer than in another body. The lens lever moves in an arc, the
body lever in a straight line; about 1/2 way through the movement
the body lever could be slipping inside the lens lever. The jam
occurs with the lens stopped down about half way. To illustrate |)
with the | being the movement of the body lever and the ) the
movement in the lens. The slip/jam happening 1/2 way through the
action. This inside surface (side towards the center) of the lens
lever has some bright spots.
Thanks
