Working with Mamiya-Sekor C 1:2.8 f=80mm Sticky aperture blades and Stiff focus ring PART 1

In this video I will show how to work with Mamiya-Sekor C 1:2.8 f=80mm if it has sticky aperture blades or if there's a stiff focus ring. I will fully disassemble the aperture assembly and the focus assembly, then cleaning the parts and then in the PART 2 that will come sooner, I will show how to assemble the lens again.
REMEMBER TO set small marks BEFORE disassemble the aperture assembly and the focus helicoids!

    Can Focus Ring be removed and cleaned after removing the front glass elements only. Or do the Aperture blades need to be removed and rear as well in order to get to remove and clean focus ring.

    Do you have advice for working on a stiff aperture ring on a Mamiya TLR 65mm f/3.5 lens. It seems to open and close fine, but the ring is difficult ti turn especially closer to wide ope. Thank you for the great work and service that you are providing to vintage camera lovers.

    A week too late for me! I took mine apart last Sunday as the focus was seized. Now it's all in bits. I guess that will make getting the helicoids correctly lined up somewhat challenging?

    I already cleaned a Mamiya-Sekor C f=55mm using your info but it seems that I lost one of the screws that holds the mount. Do you know where can I get one of these screws? Congratulations for your wonderful videos.

    Hi Mikeno, I have the same lens and cannot loosen the outer lens group. I’ve tried isopropyl, acetone, and lighter fluid to loosen any glue but didn’t work. Do you have any other tips that might loosen it enough to remove with rubber tool? Thanks!

    Help!!! I have a problem with my Mamiya 645 Super where the pin on the camera will not mate with a lens being attached.... putting a lens on the camera moves the pin all the way to the right and it will not seat in the slot on any lens.... can you refer me to someone who can help me with this issue? Seeing the knowledge on this channel I figured you are my best shot at getting this fixed. Thanks for any help you can give!!!
