anyone ever used Makinon lenses? ran into this one today. 28-80mm 3.5-4.5 w/macro ring. however, the aperture blades didn't move at all. aperture ring moved smoothly and clicked in the respective numbers but blades didn't seem to move. always wide open.
do these have some black magic that only steps down the aperture at shoot time, or is it stuck and busted? didn't had a camera without film to test it on B and see it from behind the shutter.
it was for minolta mc mount. all my mc and md lenses do move their aperture blades when unmounted.
