Just wasted 3 hours on a sticky aperture blade that wasn't sticky
Spent all morning cleaning a Canon FD 50mm that kept hesitating at f/8, turned out the grease on the cam ring had turned into glue after sitting in a hot storage unit. Anybody else ever chase a phantom oil problem for way too long?

A sticky aperture blade is annoying but 3 hours is a bit much.

Three hours means your shutter curtain is also dragging or the mirror is sticking on its way up.
