Olympus oily aperture 50mm f/1.4 OM

Try this before you pull the aperture apart in your lens. It may be a simpler fix in the mount. This is not a guarantee but a quick check. If you see oil on the blades then you will have to pull the aperture. However this might be a simple fix.

Clean aperture oil 28mm 2.8 Promaster Marexar

This video shows how one can disassemble, repair, and reassemble these Promaster MC and Marexar CX MC 28mm 2.8 lenses. The problem is not always the aperture but more likely just the mechanism in the read mount that gets sticky from old grease.

Chinon 50mm f/1.9 Auto

This little Chinon 50mm f/1.9 Auto is a lightweight lens but is built pretty cheaply. Also Optically it is simply not too exciting. Chinon usually produces some decent lenses, but this is not one of them.

Chinon 55mm f/1.7 Auto
