I purchased a Canon FD 50/1.4 awhile back, before I realized that the 4/3-adapter would only allow this lens to be used for macro. I know that with the newer m4/3 format getting infinity focus is no longer a problem, but before I invest in an adapter for using this lens can some kind person tell me if my copy might have a problem. When I turn the aperture ring from anywhere from f22 to f1.4 the aperture does not move, but stays at this position shown in the pic:
Is this normal? There seems to be no oil on any of the 8-blades, so I don't think that's a problem. Am wondering if there has to be something inside the mount that has to be moved before the aperture will move. Any insight would be appreciated, much.
