The return of the sticky lenses

A while back I sent a couple of lenses to have them fixed. They both kind of worked, but one had a bit of fungus growing inside (never nice) and the other had super-slow iris blades so it was impossible to pictures at anything other than maximum aperture. I think someone had thought they could improve its performance by adding oil. Which is never a good idea where lenses are concerned.

They came back today and they seem to be quite splendid now. I’m looking forward to taking them out and grabbing a few pictures with them.
