I don't remember whether the blades were rounded. The second one definitely had the rounded blades, and gave a confused out-of-focus image; I traded it in. The Canon 50/1.4 is vastly superior to this later lens. I miss the collapsibility, however, and the fetish value: on a Leica LTM, nothing looks funkier than a Summitar. DC
