Problems changing Aperture on Hasselblad Lens?

Hello,

I'm having trouble changing the aperture on my hasseblad lens that I got with my 500cm I bought recently. Lens is attached to the body but for some reason it will only allow me to change from f11 to f22? It will not allow be to go the other way to f2.8.

Does anyone know to to fix this or at least point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance

    Stuck aperture ring? Bent diaphragm blades? Does the aperture ring turn normally if the lens is not attached to the body? Not much help I can offer but advise you to consult a qualified camera technician.

    You do know that Hasselblad lenses with leaf shutters can be locked by exposure value ?

    Try undoing the lock between shutter speed and aperture ( button on the aperture grip ? - consult your manual).

    Look at your manual for information. If you just bought it, take it back to the store immediately along with your bill.
