Hello colleagues
I want to ask, is there a way to set constand aperture closed down(say to f 11) on Mamiya 140mm F-LA macro lens? I want to use it on lensboard, so i want to set it to desired aperture. the aperture preview level on side of batter closes it only when i push it down, but i found no way to close it for permanent.
Also, i got this lens today, and it's new to me, is it supposed to do some noise/click sound when i turn it upside down back and forth? is it ok because of these floating elemetns? I have no other lens that does the clunk sounds when i turn it upside down except this one(except 35mm Sony lenses), but this is my first floating element lens.
in the video at the end i push a little force on this internal barrel of floating element and release. Is this normal behavior? (never had floating element lenses before, just regular ones)
Grab this and thank me later. I would recommend you to send this lens back, because there is nothing inside producing click sound if everything is OK.
It could be the pins of the aperture/shutter control though. You should check it out somehow.
Thank you for the link. So without that device, as i understand, it's not possible to close down aperture constantly, right?
About the sound, it's the sound where the floating element comes out and inside, so i thought it's normal behavior of lens. I attach a video, just to demonstrate that this element probably does the sound.
