I dropped my rokinon the other day and the aperture ring turns and clicks, but the aperture doesn't change, I think the iris may be stuck? not entirely sure, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem of anyone knows how to fix this

Yeah dude, mine did the same thing but with the focus, not desirable... I ended up just grabbing a new one $150 is not too bad

As a last resort do some surgery and open it up maybe? Not sure what you can do besides getting a new one.

You opened it up and then just fiddled? Or did you do something specific?
