Mamiya 645 Sekor C 80mm f1.9 lens - aperture ring is so lose

Hi.

The dial on the above lens that I have is so lose that it is easily moved whilst working with the camera and when placing it or retrieving it from my kit bag.

I like to capture on f1.9 and nothing else, so am keen to learn from anyone in this forum as to how to remedy this.

Thanks in advance.

- So just gaffer tape the aperture ring in place wide-open.

The click-stops on Mamiya Sekor lenses aren't terribly positive, but no aperture ring is meant to stay put when pressure is applied to it. You just have to be careful and check the aperture before shooting. It's a bit like complaining that your car swerves if you knock the steering wheel!
