Help Pls!! Just got Minolta lens 50mm. 1.7

Well long story short..... Apparently, I'm now stuck with this nice little lens... :-(And yes, as u guys said,It is a problem related with the Aperture blades, due to....the infamous oil!(unfortunately I was not aware of this issue on the Minolta lenses..) that prevent the blades from working properly. But as the OP says, mine seems to work fine on M MODE at 1.7... and that's where, in my case, gets most of the use.. Oh well I paid $60.., other than that optical wise seems to be perfect..So I can always try to clean the blades whenever I get the chance..

Thanks for all your input by the way:-)

Cheers!
