Fixing Brocken Apeture Blades

hello today we are going to learn how to fix a broken/stuck aperture blade on a vintage lens which was a cannon fd mount aslo please check my 2 min video first for a better perspective of how it is fixed and a subscription is allways great too also Ill show you how to turn any lens into a cine lens

undo the screw in the back of the fd mont and pull the mount of carefully , remember to keep the screws safe i use a magnetic bowl

in the picture, you can see this pin in the leaver on the mount and the leaver with the hole on the lens, when taking apart the lens I found these were not connected properly the pin should be in the hole this controls the aperture, connect these then screw the mount together ensuring they are both connected

yey it works , we have now saved this item from going to the waste thank you for looking at this post, please tell me if I help fix your lens and please check my video
