I recently "won" a 50/3.5 macro lens on *bay, and it arrived
yesterday (without any caps). The MC lens is in very good
condition except for a mark on the side of the aperture ring.
But the focusing and aperture rings are very stiff, almost
impossible to turn without mounting the lens on a camera.
The seller is selling off stuff they acquited when they took
over a store that closed, so there is no guarantee. The
lens may have been sitting on the shelf for quite a while.
What I want to know is: Will the rings loosen up if I work
them back and forth or is it a hopeless cause (i.e., possible
internal damage)? Thanks.
