They look almost like oil from the blades might have evaporated onto the lens surface, or perhaps tiny dust specs. Is this anything to worry about in terms of affecting image quality? Or, am I being too uptight? I certainly don't notice any quality difference between other lenses. The exception is that my Summicron 50 seems sharper. But I haven't noticed anything taken with the 35 that made me say that there must be something wrong with the lens. Part of it I don't know what to look for. The photos taken with this lens seem fine to me but I wonder if they would be better by having it cleaned... - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
