OK, am I on drugs or does Leica use two sets of aperture blades? It seems on many of my lenses, that looking from the front, there is one set (main set?) that closes down, but from the rear, there's another set that gradually closes down and catches up at f/22 or so. It's very odd. Is this to smooth out bokeh? Or am I seeing an illusion?
