Hello, newbie here.
Just got into 4x5 and I got a good deal on eBay for a Caltar II-N Rodenstock 135mm f/5.6.
Nice glass, clean, the shutter looks new and aperture knob is not faded.
So far so good, until I noticed the knob moves past 5.6 and past 64. Upon inspection, the blades are slightly closed at the 5.6 mark, and closed even further past f/64.
What are your thoughts on this? I'm guessing since the markings on the aperture scale don't match what the blades do, I'm unable to set the aperture properly. The scale is unusable. Is there an easy fix to this other than returning the lens and getting a new one?
Thanks for the wise advice!
