Hello. well, since we have plenty of time at home, I decided to clean up the old Berek... and everything else.

Hello,

My wife surprised me with an Ortholux I for Christmas.
The top iris with the lever is pretty stiff and the lower one seems frozen in the open position. Are there instructions anywhere about disassembly?

Is it hard to do?

Hello sir.
I find the complete dismantling quite thorough the way I did it, because it was completely dismantled, but if you have the patience and time you can do it patiently, in my case I was doing it for several days at a time until I finished it in several weeks with no desire to finish it in one day.
I am sending you a link that served me only partially the other steps I was achieving intuitively ... start at the bottom unscrewing the first element and as are the blades of the diaphragm that you need to clean, try to wash them a little with a solvent.
