Fixed!

The lens came with a white rear cap. I noticed that it was designed so that the iris was always kept wide open. I was puzzled... So I started playing with the lever, and the movement of the iris started to be more and more easy and quick. It is now free and snappy. So I cut the plastic part forcing the iris to stay open with the cap on, and, so far, more than a month later, no more problem: free and snappy iris! Easy quick fix...
