I ended up getting the lens and so far it's great!
Unfortunately, I need to disassemble it and clean the aperture and it seems that the Mamiya Sekor aperture mechanism is quite tricky to put back together correctly. We shall see if I manage to restore this lens to its former glory.

Thanks for the link, it's close enough for my needs!

My biggest issue with this lens is that someone at some point in its long life damaged its filter thread, the same thread that is used by the front plate. This means that i can't really remove the front plate to gain access to the front element. However, I am not willing to lose this gorgeous little lens so I will give it a go with a Dremel *to smooth out the ruined threads) and see if that works. If nothing works, i'll just drill two holes in the face plate and force it to unscrew over the damaged threads.

Hello PF,

Short time lurker here. As the tile says, I wanted to start filming but modern lenses are above my paygrade, thus I have become a fan of vintage lenses.

The best feeling is when everyone praises your footage not realizing it was taken with a 30 year old lens. :lol:
