Subject: [Leica] A Question re Summicron 35mm pre-ASPH

I just took delivery of this lens and noticed that, when wide open,
the aperture blades are evident, as if they've not opened 100%. 
I've not seen this on any of the 40+/- lenses that I own, or on any
of the lenses I've ever examined.  I have not, however, ever seen a
pre-ASPH, 35mm S'cron before.  Is this normal or is there a problem
with the lens?  I'll try to put a picture up later.
