Hey /p/. I just fixed this lens with a small peice of a Christmas Tree Ornament hanger. I guess this is one advantage to low tech peices. : ) The mechanism which opened and closed the aperture had completely lost tension, the spring was now a rope. I hooked a christmas tree ornament hanger in there around two of the moving parts and it works. It doesn't quite line up with the F-stop markings on the outside of the lens anymore but it is definately usable now. I have a Wide Angle lens!EXIF data available.
