Dear Folks,
After dropping my son off in Worcester to see Star Wars on Saturday, I went and
looked in the two local camera shops. I've taken to rummaging through the scrap
boxes, as they are putting odd OM bits in there (usually 50mm lens hoods).
Nestling on top was a 50mm f/1.8. Needless to say I new something must be wrong
with it, and sure enough it has a sticky aperture. But it was in otherwise
excellent condition, and looked as if it had hardly been used. So I bought it
for £2.
Now it happens I need a good lens for a physics experiment, but without the
aperture, so I'm not losing anything if I can't fix it.
I investigated the flange end, and the aperture linkages look OK. It is the
inner aperture mechanism which is gummed up.
The question is what is the best way to get to the inner mechanism? Do I carry
on through the back, or should I go in from the front?
All advice gratefully received.
