is my lens broken?

Ok i know nothing about camera lenses and i just received my canon 50mm 1.8 in the mail. The fcus wheel is verry smooth. But what im wondering is about the apperature wheel. It is snappy but when i turn it i thought the blades on the inside were supposed to open and close? does this have to be attached to a camera for that to happen? or is the lens broken? If so i have to send it back. please let me know.

I also just relized that when i put the rear lens cap on when i turn it to lock it the blades inside create a smaller hole. Im not sure if thats any help?

Excellent news! I imagine word is out to the people making adapters about how the later FD lenses work.

Note for future reference: Go by the number order in my edited post, the quote still has the wrong numbers. :D
