Roger mentioned on the photography subreddit that the aperture replacement was a $200 part and 3 to 4 hours -- it only took so long because it was that tech's first time replacing that part. https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/comments/6xg8a7/lens_rentals_shows_some_of_their_rental_camera/dmga5m0/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/comments/6xg8a7/lens_re...
