Thank you very much for your opinion Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Didier Ludwig Enviado el: domingo, 17 de diciembre de 2006 22:34 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: Re: [Leica] Oil on the blades Luis It was my believing that it has absolutely no influence except for the collector's value. Almost all my old lenses (collapsible Summicron, 50/1.2 Canon, 35mm Nikkor, 50mm Nikkor, russians) have oily blades, no problems with it. The Summicron was cla'd by focalpointlens and he could not remove all the oil - I guess disassembling the blades is rather not recommended.
