morten__en3 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 <p>I bought a used GT the other day. Seller told me the camera was in top shape. Well, it was not ...<br> The lever was stuck (easy fix with some oil on a tooth pick), but the aperture was hanging on 5.6. It looks like the seller wanted the focusing to go smooth, and had sprayed some oil in the focal helix. Trouble is that it got to the aperture blades. So I'm posting a picture of how you disasemble the lens from the front, to get to aperture blades and shutter. And an image of the oil spill. DO NOT PUT OIL IN A LENS. EVER!<br> <img src="http://gfsnt.no/oen/foto/Minox%20aperture%20repair.jpg" alt="" /><br> <img src="http://gfsnt.no/oen/foto/Minox%20aperture%20repair%20II.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
