Hi Friends, had a similar problem with a Pentax "A" 35-105 mm f3.5 Lens -
bought Like New for US $ 65 + Tax at Kaufman's Camera in the Bay Area CA. I
reckoned a CLA would cost more than buying another one, say from KEH com -
$ 149 then. I then took the DIY route after reading up some
with a Pentax D-FA 100mm macro lens:
the aperture system on the lens is sluggish to respond and thus all
images are overexposed, especially on high f-stop numbers (i.e. 5.6,
8, 11 and onward).
Has anyone encountered this problem? How has one solved it? I'm
especially interested in do-it-yourself
Yes, the aperture mechanism is dirty/gummed up: the lens needs a CLA (clean,
lubricate, adjust) service. The auto-aperture actuating lever should snap back
instantly, somewhere around 10-20 milliseconds max. Half a second is almost
literally forever in terms of these mechanisms.
