Sticky Aperture Blades

Have just bought a VIVITAR 75 - 205mm F3.8 ZOOM from fleabay, seems in good nick apart from sticky blades, the seller has agreed to a full refund as his ad said they were fine, so thats all good.

But I was wondering of any recommendations of where to get this fixed in the UK and the cost, if it is not too expensive may consider keeping it.

Also any experiences of a DIY job to fix sticky aperture blades on a Vivitar zoom lens

Thanks
Mark

probably as cheap to get another lens.

Give this guy a call and get a quote, he is very reasonable.
