Which lens is it... f 3.6 or f 4?  If the glass is OK, I'd go for the f 3.6 
version (I know, I have one).  I'd be more cagey if it's the f 4.  It sounds 
like the problem is confined to the lens mount area, therefore shouldn't 
require major disassembly of the lens to clean/lube.  I'm saying this assuming 
that the stop-down lever doesn't stick AT ALL.

A question, though... how often do you use DOF preview?  I find that I seldom 
use it.  Just curious.

Hi,

I know of an Olympus 35-70 zuiko lens for sale in a shop in Malta, for
some $90.  It has a problem with the preview button however.  Whilst the
diaphragm moves normally when you select the separate apertures via the
ring, pressing the preview button makes the little protruding 'thing'
that moves stay to the 'preview' side.  It does not return to its normal
position when you release the button, meaning that you are, in practice,
always 'depth-of-field' previewing!!!  Now, do you think it is worth the
money, and can I repair it myself?  If not, what price might I try and
negotiate?  Also is that a normal price for a second hand zuiko 35-70?

regards

Konrad Pizzuto
