Subject: [Leica] Oil on Lens Blades: How bad is it?
From: "Paul Klingaman" <pklingaman@hotmail.com>

Dear LUG,

I keep seeing leica lenses on Ebay with the description, "blades free of 
oil."  Because almost every lens on there boasts being oil free, I can 
only assume this is a bad thing.  I checked my summicron 50 yesterday 
and noticed oil around the outer edges of each blade.  How bad is this?  
Does it have any effect on image quality?

Thanks,
Paul Klingaman
