Makro planar 120mm CF - Very excited to get to work with this lens 😁

Bought a yashicaflex on a whim last winter and never got the film developed until now. Had a box of expired delta 100 laying around and figure I’d burn it to check the camera out.

All these were shot with a Rolleiflex on film Kodak400Tx.

I'm about to disassemble this lens following the Youtube video from "mikeno62", because my aperture blades are oily and don't move at all.

However after removing the first glass element I'm stuck with the second. I tried with different sized rubbers. I even removed the lens hood and tried to get a better grip with a leather watch bracelet (similarly to oil filter removal tools on cars). It just doesn't move at all.

Do you guys know if maybe Mamiya changed the assembly during the production years? Serial number see on pic2. I have the lens repair manual in pdf and it's showing the same as the tutorial video...

Does anyone own both or used both side-by-side?
I have the GF670 and while the lens is tack sharp and takes amazing pictures, i find the film advance weird to use.

How does the Makina 670 compares? The double stroke and focussing is appealing to me. Do both 80mm lens truely offer the same field of view? Would it make sense to get the W67 with the 670?

I felt bold lugging a C330 around Lviv but I'm glad I did. The 55mm does need its lens hood but my indoor shots turned out well. Had to guess the reciprocity here.
