Talking about the aperture mechanism, my 90/2 just have aperture coupling 
lever disengaged after some 1:2 shots, it was the second time, it seems that 
the aperture coupling lever is a bit too short when the lens extended to 
maximum. Together with the space require for coupling ring/stop down ring 
movement, the aperture lever sometimes went out of position.
