So, I have a Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 lens here that I need to get rid of and do not know whether to post it in the free stuff thread or sell it for a few dollars.
I don't have a camera to test this on and I can't get the aperture to stop down at all. There are two tabs on the bottom, a larger one that does move, but not freely, and a smaller one that is completely frozen. The lens stays wide open no matter what I set on the aperture ring. Is this a lens in need of repair or is there something particular to Canon lenses that I do not know that I need to do to stop the thing down? I am betting it is broken, but would love to hear from someone who really knows their Canon FD stuff.
Thanks!
