As I was looking over my gear last night I realized that the aperture blades
on my Vivitar 28mm f2 lens do not move at all. They are completely stuck. I
have not used this lens in a while but when I did the results were really
nice. I had planned on using this lens for my TOPE 8 composition that is
running around in my head.
What can I do to fix it? I purchased it about 6 or 8 years ago for $40(US).
I do not want to pay someone because the cost to fix it will quickly over
come the replacement cost (besides this is a golden opportunity to get a
Zuiko 28).
So the net net is I want to try to fix it myself. At best; I fix it and get
my lens back, at worst; I have a learning experience and I go out and buy a
Zuiko (or is that the best case?)!! Does any one have some advise for trying
to "unstick" aperture blades?
