Going smaller than f16 doesn't cause any blade movement so I assume the movement is just play in the aperature adjustment mechanism.

Dear friends, I bought a Summicron R50/f2 secondhand some months back.... I notice the aperture ring can go about half stop even bigger than the maximium aperture of f2.. the salesguy said this is characteristic of all Leica lenses.. Is this true ? Or was I cheated...?
