thanks, there is no sign of oil on the aperture blades and when i move the trigger on the back of the lens they move freely without hesitation.
I've tried to clean the outside and nothings budging. Should i use a lens cleaner solution on the inside?

Thank you both for the replies, it is a 40mm pancake lens.
Here's the thing- i live in the UK but bought the lens in the US, got my camera serviced at another store in the US and they told me about the problem with the lens. I didnt have enough time to take it back to the original store. They've told me they'll look at it because its under warranty but it'd mean sending it to the US which is why i'd like to do it myself. I feel ripped off because it was the store that sold me the lens that told me the camera needs serviced and then they sell me a lens which needs serviced!

I had my Pentax k1000 CLA'd recently much to my delight.
One thing they said about my lens was that the aperture blades were on the edge of starting to get sticky and that the lens has smudges in the optics... any suggestions on how to remove the smudges? ive attached a picture. Would this even effect image quality if the smudges are on the outer edge?
With regards to the aperture blades im not sure if they were just saying this to try and get more money off me..
how do i tell if what they say about the aperture blades is true?
Any help would be much appreciated!

I had my k1000 fully serviced and light meter repaired last week but today the light meters failed again.
Originally the galvonometer hairspring and power wire were replaced to fix the light meter. I've tried replacing the battery again to no avail.
The company i took it to was in the US but i live in the UK so cant take it back.
Other than sending it to a UK company is there anything else i can try?
thanks!
