A friend of mine just bought a Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm lens (1st
generation) after seeing mine (3rd-generation). He's a C*non owner, so he
got the lens in screwmount. It's got a couple of issues that I'm thinking
of trying to repair, but I cannot figure out how to break into the
friggin' thing. I've done CLA on a few different primes and zooms before,
but I can't figure this one out.
Desirable repairs include:
- Fix auto-aperture pin. It was bent/jammed. I bent it straight as best
I could but it'd be nice to make sure all the linkages are correct.
- Clean one of the inner elemements. Has a bit of fungus on it.
- Lube the helicoil. It's a bit stiff on the zoom.
Anyone had one of these beasts apart?
Thanks,
-Cory
