I have got this vintage Schneider-Kreuznach lens in DKL mount. I push the aperture lever to the max but the aperture does not open all the way like in any other lens I have seen:
What is with this lens? It is near mint and the aperture lever and focusing ring work fine. Another thing I noticed is that it closes to a much smaller opening at f22 compared to another 4/135. A mystery to me given how good the condition of the lens is and apparently working as intended.
Sounds like the aperture mechanism has slipped somewhere, either the aperture ring, or most likely the aperture basket has either set screws or a jam ring that has become loose the basket has shifted.
Thanks. Is this complicated / costly to repair?
