The aperature ring on my 50 summicron (1979 Canada manufacture) became very stiff and now moves easily but does not open or close the lens diaphragm blades at all. If I shake the lens I hear a small rattle -- is this something that I can fix or does it need a trip to Leica? Thanks for any input.:(

Hit it hard with a hammer several times.

 

If that doesn't work send it back to Leica.

Does Leica make a calibrated hammer for this or can a third party hammer be used? If third party, what type of hammer - ball-pean, club, sledge, or MC*?

 

Pete.

* Not easy to find since the 80's.

Which adapter for the third party adapter?

And what bag to carry it in?
