  1. <p>Peter,<br> Understand, and no need to feel bad. In fact, i am grateful to you for all the details you had already posted, and I did manage to fix my Canon FD 28mm lens. I decided to try accessing the diaphragm first from the top/front end, and only attempt opening the mount-end of the lens if that did not work.<br> I was able to remove the diaphragm without any difficulty following your detailed steps, and remove the oil smudge from the blades using the Zippo fluid, again just as you had advised. I did not have to open the mount-end of the lens at all.<br> I carefully put it all back together, and the diaphragm started working like new! I am still using this lens as the main lens on my Samsung NX 1000 camera (with an adaptor) for street photography and family functions, with excellent results; on the APS-C format, it serves as a 44mm lens, ideal for such photography.<br> <br />Thanks again. I must apologise for not posting this earlier; I thought the thread had gone cold.<br> <br />Ram</p>
