Introduction |
| I have a X100S camera, which is completely dead , and a X100 with a bad working iris; iris was moving, but sometimes reamained fully open, and most of the times was fully closed (no autofocus, very dark pictures). | | | I did not want to tear down the camera from the back, so I decided to try from the front, starting with the dead X100S, as a “safe” trial. | | Later I than sawdid the same on the X100, and noticed that the X100 lens is the same, also inside. | | | When I reached the iris, I realized that the motor was not moving correctly, closing the iris a bit more at each shutter actuation. I then decided to remove the iris gear, and fix the iris at around f:4, which is for me a good compromise. DOF is acceptable on this lens, and AF works well. | | | You can try to do the same if you have a bad working iris, or you can use this guide to clean the lens inside, or change the lens front element, if damaged. | | | I hope you can find this guide useful. |
